How to prepare Plantain-Kpomo Sauce

How to prepare Plantain-Kpomo Sauce 

Hello guys, I discovered a new food recipe. It’s really great. I’ve tried out and it worked out fine. Please do try it. Thanks.

This food recipe is special because it involves the use of locally found food stuffs such as Cow skin (Kpomo- Nigerian Language) and Plantain.


Now, the beautiful thing about this recipe is that I saw something like it online, and then I chipped in my own procedures and styles inside of it, to make it look different.


So what do I need for this recipe?

1. Plantain
2. Meat (Kpomo Preferably)
3. Maggi
4. Tomato
5. Pepper
6. Red Oil
7. Salt
8. Curry and Thyme
9. Onions

Okay! So Lets get started!



Get Ripe or Unripe plantain that is in good condition. I prefer ripe plantain because to me, it’s sweeter and more interesting to eat and cook. (It gets done on time)


Peel the plantain and wash them with clean water into a bowl. Cut the plantain into bits, they should not be too small; they should be moderate in size.


Use your knife to give marks on the body of the plantain, they should look like this:

Now, Take a little amount of oil and mix it with a corresponding amount of salt. Mix till the mixture is smooth.


Grease the plantain with the oil mixture.



Now, wrap the slices of plantain with your foil paper and place them on top of the frying pan. Ensure that every part of the plantain gets to touch the surface of the frying pan so that they can get done very well. (you can do this by turning the plantain with a frying spoon)

Heat on a low temperature, so that they won’t get burnt. Heat for 40 minutes.



While the plantain is on fire, let’s get ready to start making our Sauce…



First of, Wash the meat skin (kpomo) very well with water. Then cut it into small pieces and boil it in a pot.


Take another pot, heat the pot on fire for a while, then add palm oil, after 3 minutes add your sliced onions, after a minute add your blended tomato with pepper, then add your maggi, salt, and other spices, allow to cook for a minute or 2, then add a little quantity of water and stir until it mixes very well.

Leave the sauce to boil for about 10 minutes, and then add your Boiled meat and stir. Leave them to boil very well for another 5 minutes, and then turn off your fire.


After you have heated your plantain for 40 minutes, off the fire and allow it to cool for 2 minutes. After then, unwrap the foil paper from the plantain carefully.


Serve the plantain and sauce in a plate and eat when hot. Don’t forget to garnish it, so that it will attract your siblings, Lol….
