Sundays are often considered as a day to rest, but for me it a day to unleash my creativity. This Sunday i decided to try my hands at cooking a delicious homemade plantain sauce with akamu, a staple in many Nigerians household. This process was not only therapeutic but also satisfying and rewarding, yielding a favourable sauce that surpassed my expectations.

The cooking process

First I began by peeling my plantains and chopping them into my desired shape and small pieces.

After cutting the plantains, I then added my vegetable oil to my frying pot and I also added my plantain inside and allow it to fry for some minutes.

In this step, I then brought out my plantain from the fire which it was frying and keep aside. After that, I then began to cut my onions, tomatoes and pepper together.

Here I added some oil to my frying pot and allowed it to boil for some few minutes. Remember not to allow it burn or stick to the pot cause it will definitely spoil the taste of the sauce.

After some minutes of frying and boiling, I then brought down the frying pot and your sauce is now ready and it's time to make the akamu.
