Damn, fried plantains are pretty good

[Tetsuo]

I don't have any family from Africa or the Caribbean, so we never cooked with them. There was a couple of guys from Nigeria at work telling me about some of the food a few weeks ago and one of them was like "you have to try the Jollof rice and fried plantains" and I told him I'd look the recipe up online and try to make it when I have the chance. Bought a few plantains last week and let them sit, one of them was yellow and I fried it.

I botched the Jollof rice, but the plaintain was I'm gonna be cooking them every week now.

My favorite food. You can mash it up and have sweet mashed plantain as a side of any dish. My Jamaican homegirls makes plantain porridge. Super good!

Is there such a thing as perfect jollof rice?

Yes. It is prepared by old Nigerian mothers in kitchens all over africa.

Didn't realize this till i left home and had other people's jellof....

I love you momma....

P.S. Beware of Ghanian brehs promoting some odd rice and tomato mixure they refer to as "Ghanian Jollof" (). Kindly decline and walk away as quickly as possible.
