Hello, complement of the hour to you all and i believed we are all doing well. Today i will be sharing with you the first meal been prepared by me for this early beginning of 2023. I prepared 4 fingers of ripped plantain and 2 cups of beans.
Many young men in my locality don't know how to cook not to talk of preparing portage plantain and beans. I noticed this when one of my friends called me to the side and said, please i will like to learn how to cook! I was very happy because i know this process will not just teach him alone but the entire world.

The Importance of eating Beans
Beans is a very good meal which is loved by our people. I love eating beans because of the high protein it generates to the body. Medically, it's advisable we eat only 15% of protein food daily and this 15% is our local spoon use by out parents as the measurement. Two (2) of those spoons full with beans are the 15% percent measurement.

There are different steps one needs to take before serving the meal. This steps which i used in preparing this meal can be seen below:
• select stones out of the 2 cups of beans
• Set your cooking pot on the fire with little water inside, then put the beans inside the pot for pa- boiling.
• When it boiled, drop it down and wash it with a clean water. Put it back on fire and i put my maggi, salt, crayfish, pepper, etc
• While the pot was on fire, i quickly brought out the plantain, peel it the cut it bit by bit and when the beans was due, i had to put in the ripe plantain.
