Sese plantain is one of my go-to lazy meals because you dump everything in the pot and let the flavors slowly blend as it simmers. This everyday one-pot meal is frequently served in Cameroon households and throughout West Africa. It is sometimes called turning plantains in other parts because some stirring is involved during the cooking process to prevent them from sticking to the pot.
Recipe Ingredients
How to Make Sese Plantain
Meat – In a large saucepan, boil meat seasoned with salt, cayenne pepper, and onions until tender. How long it takes depends on the meat, but you can cut the time in half using a pressure cooker. (Photo 1) Prep Plantains – Cut both ends off the plantain with a sharp knife to make it easy to pull the peel off. Slit a shallow cut lengthwise of the plantain, cutting only as deep as the peel. Remove the peel by pulling it back. (Photo 2) Cut the plantains into thick rounds. Add – Place the plantains into the pot of boiling meat, and then add the Maggie, crayfish, red palm oil, and remaining onions. (Photos 3-4) Simmer – Bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Greens – Finally, add the kale and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Serve – Remove from the heat and serve hot. (Photos 5-6)
