About Plantain pottage

Plantain Pottage is a flavorful, hearty dish originating from West African cuisine, particularly popular in Nigeria. It features ripe or semi-ripe plantains cooked with a blend of palm oil, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and aromatic spices such as thyme and chili pepper. Often enriched with protein sources like fish, shrimp, or meat, it may also include leafy greens for added nutrition. Plantains, the star ingredient, are a rich source of complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, potassium, and vitamins A and C, offering energy and supporting digestive health. Palm oil, while traditional, is high in saturated fats—so moderation is key for those mindful of heart health. With its mix of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors, Plantain Pottage is a satisfying, nutrient-packed meal that highlights the diverse culinary heritage and wholesome ingredients of the region.
