• Dodo Ikire and Groundnut

    Hello guys!

    Remember my mosa recipe?. Well if you were still looking for more things to do with your overripe plantains you should definitely try Dodo-Ikire. This is a basic appetizer made out of seasoned overripe plantains fried in palm oil. So simple eh? Note that this could be a fairly messy dish to eat so have napkins on hand for yourself and your guests. Dodo-Ikire is awesome enough by itself however as an Afrolems follower I know you want to go above and beyond (#chefoff). I served mine with groundnuts but the possibilities do not end there, you could try serving it with pepper sauce or even asun! If you try this, I would love to see what amazing accompaniment you come up with. You can tweet your pictures to (at)Afrolems or instagram them with the hashtag #AfrolemsDI.

    Enjoy!

      OMGoodness. I was talking about this a few weeks ago with some folks. It was the first I’d heard of it and I tried to get some but couldn’t find any fresh.
