_{Face of my plantain porridge}

Hello fellow Steemians. Welcome back to another edition of this contest. I am glad to join it once again as I share with us how to prepare tasty plantain porridge. This is one of a kind as it'd be very brief and straight to the point of what we need to know.

Join me as we head for the kitchen 🙂
Plantain is so good for the body, and so, is one food that hardly anybody would hesitate to have.

First we have to gather our ingredients to prepare this delicious delicacy.
So I have mine, and we can start cooking already.

I'll begin by peeling off the back of the plantain, to washing it with water. After this, I begin to cut it in tiny bits into my pot.
This is to make it easy to cook, and of course, enjoyable and easier to munch on.

Next step is to pour in some water and put it on fire. I like my plantain to be very mushy. So this makes me cook just the plantain for quite some minutes before adding my cowskin to it. Again, the cowskin will be in bits too. This will then be followed by ingredients like: crayfish, pepper, salt, maggi, etc. I will also add my already well washed fish to it to cook, while I wash and cut my vegetables. Pumpkin and bitterleaf is what I use to have some bitter taste in the porridge. ![IMG_20221205_185330_793~3.jpg](

When the porridge is cooked for like 3minutes, I can put the quantity of palm oil that'd be okay with my porridge, put my vegetables and put down my pot.

My plantain porridge is ready to be served now.
Note, the bitterleaf is not just washed and cut like pumpkin leaves. Here, you have to get a grater to wash it, by scrubbing the leaves on the grater. You repeat this process until you get the taste you want, but it's good not to wash off all the bitterness. After washing, you can cut it with your knife.
