Hello everyone, welcome to another episode of Hive Learner's Creative Sunday Initiative with George Dee.
Every Sunday, community members get to share creative stuff on Hive and I always look forward to it. As usual, I made something yummy for today's entry. Although it's not a soup but you're definitely going to love it.
I had a few pieces of plantain lying around in the kitchen so I thought of breaking the rice and spaghetti cursed breakfast. A lot of Nigerians, just like me are stuck with the same breakfast routine and even when we have the opportunity of making a difference, letting go of that routine becomes difficult.
Initially, I thought of frying the plantain and just having it with rice but my taste buds wanted something extra yummy so I decided to boil the plantain and make vegetable sauce to it. It is not my first time having boiled plantain with sauce but it's my first time having it with vegetables.
Being the type who loves vegetables a lot, I think Vegetables would be a perfect choice for me henceforth because the outcome of the combination was great and it didn't cost me much money or waste my time, the recipes are cheap and quite easy to prepare.
Recipe
Plantain
Pumpkin leaf
Pepper
Stockfish
Smoked fish
Palm oil
Onions
Seasoning
Cowskin
Preparation
I started with cleaning the recipes properly and we must always remember that health is wealth. After cleaning, I sliced the pepper, onions and pumpkin. I shredded the smoked fish, cut the cowskin into smaller sizes and soaked the stockfish in hot water.
I boiled the plantain without peeling the back, my mom does it that way and I just do the same too. After the plantains were properly boiled, I put them aside and started preparing my vegetable sauce.
I heated my pot first before turning a small quantity of palm oil into it. I used just a small quantity since it wouldn't be nice for the sauce wouldn't be too oily in the end.
I added the cowskin and fish first and stir fry before adding onions.
The pepper came in after and I added the seasonings and then allowed it to fry for about 7 minutes under low heat, the goal is to make the cowskin and fish absorb the seasoning as well.
After 7 minutes, I added the pumpkin and allowed it to fry further under low heat for a few minutes.
- I eventually peeled the plantains and cut them into smaller pieces on a plate. I added the sauce and voila, it was perfect.
Plantain is rich in vitamins and can be taken for breakfast, bringing your vegetable sauce only takes the nutrients and taste to a whole new level.
If you haven't tried this, you should because you are definitely going to fall in love with it.

Mummy, I have surviving with cash you and the king have been giving me.🤣
You know these things aren't expensive and you can try it for your kids if they like vegetables.
@george-dee please where do you live? I need to move next flat. Hahaha.This is really yummy and nutritious. I learnt something new here that I can boil without peeling, provided I wash it first. I always enjoy your meals, not just the cooking, but the plating and the aroma. 😅See as my phone just dey scent. Hahahahaha
My head is swelling right now, I am blushing. Thanks ma for the beautiful comment and we can actually boil plantain without peeling provided that we wash the body well.
My mom boils cocoyam and potatoes that way as well, I am glad you love it.
Cheers to a beautiful week.
Just like ma'am Nkem asked, how do you get these plenty fish and cowskin for a meal of once sitting for just two persons at most? Ahh! See as I was just salivating, lol
This is a nice meal for breakfast and it's also healthy as well but it's sad that I can't taste yours 🤧.
Honestly all of that can be done with just 1k, I can break it done if you want provided that you have the plantain already. Normally, 1k won't be enough for two adults breakfast.
Really sorry you can't taste but you can prepare it as well and share with us on Hive.
Thanks for the visit, my lady. Cheers a beautiful week.
Exactly! To get things like plantain and yam now is quite expensive here. So if I want to prepare something like that, I should be looking at 2-3k.
Well, it is fine, when I have that kind of money to spend like that, I'd give it a try.
It's a pleasure stopping by, you too have a lovely week!
Wow this looks super yummy 😋 I hope mine is there because I must eat out of this delicious breakfast 😂
