Servings: 4-5

Ingredients:

  • 4-5 Ripe Plantains
  • 30g Fresh Ginger
  • 10g Fresh Garlic
  • 50g Fresh Onions
  • Cloves
  • 4 pieces of Calabash Nutmeg
  • 2 pieces of Grains of Selim
  • 20g Red Crushed Pepper
  • 1 Tsp Salt to taste
  • Oil- for frying

Instructions:

Step 1: Wash the plantain and cut them into chunky cubes and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Kelewele mix by roughly blending all the ingredients together without the salt.

Step 3: Add the mix and some salt to the cut plantain and set aside to marinade for about 10-15min. This helps it to absorb all the flavours.

Step 4: Reheat your oil, add the marinaded plantain and cook until it is golden brown. Don’t overload the plantain in the oil when frying so they don’t soak up.

Step 5: Once golden-brown scoop out the plantain into a colander to drain out excess oil.

Step 6: Kelewele is now ready to be served with your delicious Akwaaba Spice Vegan Shito Sauce.
