Plantain is a versatile fruit and is sometimes mistaken for banana. However, unlike banana it can't be eaten raw. What I love most about plantain is its versatility. It can be fried, boiled or roasted and can be eaten as a main dish, appetizer or accompany a main dish.When ripe and the skin of the plantain blackens its very sweet unlike its green counterpart.
Plantain makes a perfect breakfast or lunch
Boiled Plantain (Healthier option) with fried egg
I cut 1 plantain into 3 pieces and boil for about 20-30mins in the skin until thoroughly cooked, the cooking time will depend on how ripe the plantain is.

. fried plantain, 1 slice of bread, fried egg with baked beans and red onions
(Adding baked beans to my meal is actually a new thing for me which I was introduced to by my housemate, but I must say it accompanies the dish well !)
I slice the plantain into small slices sprinkle on a bit of salt and shallow fry in some oil on both sides.
