Garlic Butter and Chilli Plantain

Ok, are you already thinking why would I eat plantain with garlic and butter? I tell you what, why not? This recipe was borne some weeks back when I made Jollof spaghetti and garlic butter shrimps for lunch, I also fried some plantain to balance the meal as a correct Nigerian girl that I am. Anyways, after dishing up the meal, I decided to swirl the garlic butter sauce over my meal especially the plantain. Honestly, the taste was amazing and I just couldn't wait to share it with you all. This recipe is pretty straight forward and if you have had garlic butter shrimps before and you loved it, then you will get the gist and hype about my garlic butter plantain. This dish is another great way Nigerian vegetarians/vegans can enjoy eating plantain. If you would be eating yours alone, I would recommend you add salt and seasoning to taste. Click link to recipe 

Stir fry Noodles and baked Salmon...

If you want something really quick and easy to make, this meal is just right for you (that is if you love noodles and fish). it is like Jamie Oliver’s 15 minute meal only that this will take you about 30 minutes plus prepping.

I love salmon and I personally think salmon is best eaten with Jollof rice. I just love the way it melts in the mouth when cooked well. Let’s move on to my 30 minutes meal from my #active kitchen.

You will need

Salmon fillets

Mixed bell peppers

Seasoning

Pinch of salt

Noodles (pre cooked or raw)

Dried parsley (optional)

Mangetout  

2 -3 tablespoons of olive oil

2-3 cube of butter

Cayenne pepper (optional)

Onion

Garlic granules (optional)

Let’s crack on...  #prepping

Set your oven to 180 degrees/ gas mark 4

Cut the bell peppers into tiny stripes and slice your onions. Take some of the stripped peppers and dice into tiny cubes. This will be used with the salmon. Set this aside

Now to the main meal...

The fish cooks between 20 and 25 minutes

In a mixing bowl, mix the diced peppers, butter, seasoning of choice, cayenne pepper (if needed), parsley, garlic and salt together. It will look a bit messy but it’s alright

Rub your mixture onto the salmon fillet and wrap in foil. Place in the oven and bake for 20 or 25 minutes

You have 20 minutes to stir fry your noodles and you can also make yourself a cup of tea while you are at it 

In a separate pot, boil noodles according to pack instructions or as you will prefer but for this meal you don’t want it to be too soft or it will look mushy.

Place your wok on the heat, add olive oil, and add the remaining bell peppers, onions, mangetout sauté for 5 minutes. (add some seasoning)

Drain the noodles and add it to the sautéed vegetable. Cook for another 5 minutes.

 Turn off the heat and plate up. Bring out your salmon from the oven, unwrap it from the foil and voila you are just 2 minutes away from eating. Serve your salmon with your cooked noodles and its all yum yum.

Have a lovely weekend all.
