Hey Folks. Time to intro you to something a little bit more different. More different from the usual Sierra Leone Flavours I hear you ask? Yes – as in introducing you cooking with palm oil. It is a pantry staple for all Sierra Leoneans including myself and it adds a really unique rich flavour to your food.
Why You’ll Love One-Pot Beans and Plantains
This One-Pot Beans and Plantains recipe (bean pottage I hear my Nigerian friends call it) is finger-licking street food at its best – think filling protein from the black-eyed beans, flavour from the palm oil and fish and a little hint of sweetness via the plantains. And if you stuff this mixture into warm bread and it will pretty much fill you up for the entire day.
I sooooo remember sitting in my little corner biting into my black-eyed bean and plantain sandwiches, and seeing a few beans escape onto the table. After I finished my sandwich, I would then pick up every single bean and slowly savour them aka eat my sandwich twice. And would you know it, my eldest is exactly like me.
