BOLI : ROASTED PLANTAIN

Boli (a.k.a. roasted plantain) is a popular Nigerian street food. Nothing fancy or complicated. Just a whole plantain thrown on a grill and turned around a few times to get it all brown and crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. It is then wrapped up in old newspaper and handed over with some roasted groundnuts.

What's so great is that it can be recreated at home, whether in a conventional oven-grill or out on the barbecue.
