~METHOD
1.wash plantation, cut into smaller chunks and boil
2.if you didnt get mince meat, but just normal beef like me, cut into small pieces, marinate. I seasoned with cubes, salt, gjnger and garlic powder . Cover
and leave for about 10minutes.
3.in a clean dry pot, on heat, pour your marinated meat, keep using a spoon to stir and turn. It will simmer in its own juice, when it is cooked, add your pepper, onions, tomatoes. taste for salt. Do not overcook, just immediately after it leaves the raw state, remove from heat, set aside.
4.when your plantain is completely over cooked, remove from heat, drain water and mash.do this till you have zero lumps.
5.either on a board, or on your palm (squeaky clean palm), flatten some of the plantain paste like you are making the wrap for a pie, should be about 2 inch thick.
6.add just a spoon of your meat sauce in the middle, and close it.
7.you can add more plantain if you discover any loop holes where your sauce is dripping from.
8.seal edges with raw egg.
9.just try to form a particular shape and stick to it.
10.pour oil in a pot, or deep fryer, when its very hot, fry till golden brown.
11.its best served when warm, can be eaten with rice or pap/custard.
