MY FAVORITE LOCAL DISH -- HIVE LEARNERS CONTEST FOR WEEK 3 EDITION 3
Where are you from? What is your local dish? Would you mind sharing with us so we can learn how to make and eat it? This is my favourite local dish. In English language, it is called plantain Pudding. But in my dialect, it is called Ukpo- Ogede. It is eaten by my people from Ika North East, Delta State
It is made with two types of plantains. A ripe one and unripe. The recipe is simple and the food is very delicious. In a bit, I will take you through the steps.
I like eating plantain Pudding. When I was home, each time Mummy goes to the market, this is one food she buys for us to eat before she would make the real meal.
The food tastes so sweet, you know the taste of ripe plantain right? It's so sweet.
NOW THE INGREDIENTS
The major ingredient is plantain, both ripe and unripe. Depending on the number of people you are serving, four large and ripe plantains and two large unripe ones will do. Listing out the whole ingredients we have
Ripe plantains
Unripe plantains
Onions
Pepper
Leaf
Water
Palm oil.
Seasoning
PROCEDURES ALONG WITH IMAGES
Blend your pepper and onions together.
Cut the ripe plantains and the unripe plantains into the blender and blend.
Pour into a deep bowl, add palm oil, water and seasonings. Stir well.
Put water into pot and bring to a boil. Wash the leaves and get them ready for wrapping.
Then wrap the plantain paste with the leaf. I will show you the wrapping skills another day
Add the wrapped plantain Pudding into the boiling water and allow to steam for 45 minutes.
Here's.

Oh my. I have an unending love for plantain 😍. This looks delicious. Would definitely love to try it someday. I might just try it out using the recipe.
Very nice post ❣️
You will love it and never want to eat plantain in any other form
It is something very new for me. I would like to eat it some day. Looking soooooo delicious. The step by step guide with images makes cooking easier.
I wanna know one thing though. What do you add as seasonings? And is there any special kind of leaves that we are supposed to use for wrapping?
In my country Nigeria, we have leaves for wrapping food. That is the one to use. Otherwise, some leaves go very soft or attempt to melt when to hey stay long in boiling water. But when the leaf meant for wrapping is used, 45 minutes or even two hours boiling has no effect on it.
There are different seasoning, I use different types depending on the food. Here in Nigeria, we have a blend of different dry leaves/spices that forms seasoning ( e.g I have at home, a blend of cumin,flax seed, fenugreek, bassil, cadamon,rosemary,ginger,garlic, black seed,currianda and cynamon). All in one. I use it in little quantity. We also have Knorr cubes, maggi cubes, ama wonder, kitchen glory etc as seasonings here in Nigeria.
What do you use?
It is really yummy to have a taste of it
Sure it is, do try it out someday
Oh my God! How come I don't know about this kind of delicacy 🤔. @adoore-eu thanks and thanks and thank you so much for this recipe. I am a plantain lover same with my kids and I am sure we gonna love this method of eating plantain 🤩
And the rapping.....🤔🤔🤔, Some people gat the skill shaa😀, I tried using this leaf to rap my moi moi but I don't get it so well 🤦, I will spend almost an hour trying to get it right but maybe you will lecture us on how to do it some other time as you promised.
