That looks delicious! Is this a certain type of cuisine?

Jollof rice is a West African dish, but I don't know if the rest is West African.

fried plantains are pretty African in general

[–] beerclue@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Indeed, jollof is west African, but the dish I assembled here is just something I put together, nothing specific.

Do you just fry the banana as-is? I'm thinking it would be so good with some Lawry's jerk seasoning

[–] beerclue@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, as is, but it was green, unripened. It's not sweet, and really tart. Deep fried and salted, it's really good. I don't know the seasoning you mentioned...

Here's a copycat recipe, with the caveat that Lawry's uses sweet bell peppers instead of hot peppers

I honestly prefer closer to green bananas, can't wait to try this. Thank you!

Oh man, that sounds good! Many of the ingredients in the mix I used in the jollof and on the chicken. Thanks for the recipe :)
