African food can is a great way to make any meal a little more exotic! This recipe is an accent to a formal dinner dish, while it is served with many different dinners, it is most commonly served with fish. From the country of Cote d'ivoire is the recipe Aloko:
Ingredients:
Six plantain bananas
One bottle of Olive (or vegetable) Oil
Recipe:
The first step in this recipe is to slice the plantains lengthwise into thin slices.
Next, pour about five inches of oil into a sauce pan (Depending on the size of the pan use judgement as to how much to put in. The plantains should not be "Swimming" in oil, but should be covered in oil).
Now, place half of the sliced plantain bananas into the oil, fry them until they are reddish brown.
When, the first half of the plantain bananas are done cooking, cook the second half.
Once both batches of the plantain bananas are finished, serve them immediately over grilled fish (Or try something new and serve it over anything!).
Bon Appetit
A fun fact about Cote d'ivoire is that their national language is French.
