Healthy Dining with Mprex-Yam and Plantain Porridge

 Hello beYOUtiful folks, today's post is a  delicious dish prepared in most Nigerian homes called Yam and Plantain Porridge. It is an inviting meal that can be cooked with whatever ingredients  you so desire but the steps at which you put the ingredients are important,thankfully my YouTube video will guide you through.

Ingredients:
Yam
Plantain (preferably ripe)
Fresh tomatoes
Scotch bonnet pepper
A bulb of onions
Mixed vegetables (optional)
Chicken (Optional)
Ground crayfish (optional)
Maggi seasoning 
Salt
Palm oil

Time to cook!!!!
Step 1: Peel,wash and dice up the yam into cubes. Pour a considerable amount of water into the pot of diced yam, put on the stove, and leave to boil for a while then dice onions into the pot of boiling yam.

Step 2: Blend your tomatoes,pepper and onions without water. Slice your plantain in a round shape and set aside.
 
Step 3: Season and cook your chicken,then set aside to cool down. You can either separate the bone from the meat of the chicken or just leave it to be whole.

Step 4: Check the boiling yam for softness, if you are able to poke the yam without any issue,pour the sliced plantain into the pot. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes,then pour in the blended tomatoes,pepper and onions and allow to boil for 5 minutes.

Step 5: This step is optional  because you may not want to put mixed vegetables,crayfish or chicken in it but if you want to,then you need to follow this step. Put the mixed vegetables,crayfish and chicken into the pot of yam and plantain. 

Step 6: Put salt and Maggi seasoning into the pot, remember to always put the salt little by little if you are not measuring it.

Step 7: Then shake and pour in a considerable amount of Palm oil,allow to cook for 5 minutes.. YOUR FOOD IS READY!!!!!!
