Plantain and Potato Pottage

Plantain & Potato Pottage - Adùn

Written by: Tobi

We are back with another banger of a recipe - Plantain and Potato pottage. I am writing this in the middle of enjoying a warm hearty bowl of this dish and all I can say is - You need to try this! Scratch that, please try this soon.

Some days ago, I was craving a warm dish that had hints of seafood, with some sweetness, some freshness/aromatics, and some spice to it, and this recipe came to mind.

If you have ever eaten the popular Nigerian Pottage dish (Asaro - depending on what you know it as), this recipe won’t be too foreign to you. 

Ingredients

  • 1 Onion
  • 6 Potatoes
  • 2 tbsp of Oil
  • 2 Ripe Plantains
  • ½ Adùn Plain Stew
  • 2 tbsp of Crayfish Powder
  • 2 tbsp of Bouillon Powder

This recipe uses some of my favorite ingredients - Potatoes and Plantains. If you love those two items, this recipe is a good way to enjoy a dish with both of them in it! These two items cooked in a base of Adùn Plain stew with some crayfish and scent leaves will become your new comfort dish.

This recipe uses crayfish powder which you can substitute with shrimp powder. If you are allergic to shellfish, please skip these or use any of your preferred proteins. For the Scent Leaves - fresh basil works great as a substitute. Potato & Plantain Pottage Ingredients - Adùn
