FOOD TIP FOR THE DAY

HOW TO PREVENT YOUR PLANTAIN FROM RIPENING FAST

1. Tie the head of the plantain with polythene /plastic bag, foil etc. Anything that'll prevent air(oxygen) from getting to it. Then store in a cool dry place

2. Refrigerate or freeze put your unripe plantain in a nylon bag and place in a fridge or freezer. It lasts longer in the freezer than in the fridge.

3. Soak the unripe plantain in a bowl of water. Ensure the whole plantain especially the stem is properly covered with the water. You can change the water every two days to keep it fresh.

P:S - Separating the plantain one one as in the picture before storage is better than leaving it in the bunch

How to make peanut butter

Making peanut butter at home is a simple and straightforward process. Here's a basic recipe to make homemade peanut butter:

Ingredients:
- 2 cups roasted peanuts (unsalted)
- 1-2 tablespoons peanut oil (optional)
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Salt (optional, to taste)

Instructions:
1. Start by roasting the peanuts (if they're not already roasted). Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the peanuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them for about 10-12 minutes until they turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

2. Allow the roasted peanuts to cool down for a few minutes. If the peanuts have skins, you can rub them together in a clean kitchen towel to remove the skins. However, leaving the skins on will add a slightly more rustic texture to the peanut butter.

3. Transfer the roasted peanuts to a food processor or a high-powered blender. If you prefer a chunky peanut butter, set aside a handful of peanuts to stir in later.

4. Process the peanuts in the food processor or blender for 1-2 minutes. Initially, the peanuts will turn into crumbs, then gradually start to clump together.

5. At this point, you can add optional ingredients if desired. You can add a tablespoon or two of peanut oil to achieve a smoother texture. If you prefer a sweeter peanut butter, add honey or maple syrup to taste. You can also add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.

6. Continue processing the mixture for another 2-3 minutes until you reach your desired consistency. If you set aside some peanuts for a chunky texture, stir them in now and pulse a few times to incorporate them.

7. Stop occasionally during the blending process to scrape down the sides of the food processor or blender to ensure even blending.

8. Taste the peanut butter and adjust the sweetness or saltiness if necessary. You can add more honey, maple syrup, or salt according to your preference.

9. Once you're satisfied with the consistency

LET'S LEARN
HOW TO MAKE COCONUT OIL

Step 1- Crack the coconut open, extract the coconut meat from the shell. Blend the coconut meat and filtered water in a high speed blender for 1-2 minutes, Although there will still be lots of coconut pulp and also coconut milk.

Step 2- To separate the mixture, simply use a nut milk bag and allow the homemade coconut milk to gather in a large bowl. The remaining coconut pulp can then be dried ot and used within all sorts of cake recipes

Step 3- Pour the milk into a large heavy based pan and heating on low, consistence temperatures, you will begin to see coconut oil forming on the top of the mix. The low temperature heating process can easily take 1-2hours, if not more. So just be patient!

Step 4- While heating the water will evaporate from the coconut milk mixture, The coconut will begin to get crumbly in texture and solidify. This is when you will begin to notice the oil

Tips
* The key to make a perfect homemade coconut oil s the low, consistent temperatures. if you try to use higher temperature to cut down the time it takes to make this oil then you run the risk of ruining the oil. Unfortunately, high temperature can (and will) change the composition and property of the coconut oil. Don't be tempted to put up the heat too much.

* Coconut oil can be substitute for vegetable oil (some African countries cook with coconut oil)

* Coconut oil can be added to your body cream, hair or apply directly on your skin or hair

Ingredients
3 cups raw peanuts (groundnuts)
3 eggs
3 cups flour
2 or 3 tablespoons sugar
Pinch of salt
2 cups vegetable oil

Instructions👇
You can use already roasted groundnuts (peanuts). But if you have raw peanuts, you can roast or fry them yourself. For extra flavor, I start the frying process by first soaking the peanuts in hot water for 15 minutes, then I drain and dry the peanuts for 1 hour. Next, I pour in a nice layer of table salt in a pan and then I fry (roast) the peanuts in the salt until they are brown. Sieve out the peanuts in a tray and leave them to cool.
Break the eggs into a bowl and add the salt and sugar. Whisk together.
In a bigger bowl, pour in the roasted peanuts. Pour in 1 tablespoon of the whisked egg and toss the peanuts. Next, pour in 1 tablespoon of flour and toss.
Repeat the process until both the flour and the eggs are exhausted. This will give you finely coated peanuts.
Heat the oil in a pan and fry the coated peanuts until they are nice and brown.

Your yummy peanut burger is ready.

Variations
For extra flavor, you can add a drop of vanilla to the egg mixture.

You can also add 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg and 1 teaspoon of powdered milk to the flour and mix.
