Hello, hivers! How are you? Are you feeling better? Because in today's blog you will see my brother's cravings. And I hope you will also crave for the foods that I will show with all of you.
My brother decided he wanted to have beans for dinner, that's what he's craving for. So I had to rush to local market around since there no Lady in the house to help out, I got beans, plantain, some veggies and some condiments.
This is the ripe plantain i got, some people prefer to have their beans with yam instead, but I prefer mine with ripe plantain cause I'm always reacting to beans prepared with yam.
It wasn't my first time preparing this kind of beans but it's been a very long time because it's always too heavy for me.
This is the pumpkin I prepared. I don't believe that it was necessary for this meal but I just love having veggies in almost everything just for the health benefits.
These are other condiments necessary for the meal
Let me introduce you to a delicious dish I love: beans, plantain, and pumpkin. It's a hearty, comforting meal that combines the rich flavors of beans, the sweetness of plantain, and the earthiness of pumpkin. This combination is popular in many parts of the world, and it’s a not my favorite anyways.
Beans and plantain make such a satisfying pairing. While the plantain offers a gentle sweetness, the beans are packed with protein and flavor. And when you add pumpkin to the mix, you get a lovely balance of textures and a bit of a savory sweet bite. I can't really explain it, but each bite makes me feel so content it’s the kind of food that makes you want to dance with joy.
You can also mix other proteins like meats with your plate of beans, plantain, and pumpkin. I know it sounds like an odd combination, but trust me, it was absolutely delicious! The bold flavors of the proteins brings out even more richness in the meal. And even though you have to chew a bit more to get through those soft plantains, it'll totally be worth it.
HAPPY EATING!
That's all for todays blog, hivers! I hope you have a wonderful time. Thank you!
