Good evening great and beautiful steemians. I'm super excited to be alive to participate in the last day of the wonderful cooking contest organized by @steemalive community.

This marks my last post in this cooking contest. I almost drop out of the kitchen within this four days. Infact, my siblings which the contest should continue so that I will continue being their chef.

Today's food happens to be beans and plantain.
Medically, I have been restricted from eating some meals and that makes me confined myself to the ones I'm to take. Here are the ingredients for this;

• Beans
• Plantain
• Fish
• Crayfish
• Pepper/ salt
• Onions
• Palm oil etc

I brought the beans back as there were other stuffs in the house. I poured the beans into a tray and did select the beans from other unwanted substances. I poured it inside a bowl and did wash it. It was then parboiled. I peeled out the plantain and took time to wash it clean. I then cut the plantain into smaller parts to have it soften the same time as the beans. Before I was done, I observed that the parboiled beans was set to be filtered.

The beans was then mixed with the plantain and placed on fire. It took a while to have the both soften. When it got to this state, I then added other ingredients that I had already prepared. I stated by adding, pepper, fish and crayfish. I covered the the stuff to boiled well before adding salt, maggi, onions and palm oil. Wow! It sounds simple right? Yes, it is. This wouldn't wouldn't have been, if I never picked interest in learning it from home. At the time, trust me, the aroma was spread abroad. I waited for it to get a little bit dried up.

Kpam! Here comes the food. I reached out to my plate to have a taste of it. Of course, I was salivarising as the food was steaming in the pot with an inviting look. I didn't have to add any additional ingredient as the taste was okay as that of a professional cook.

Here comes the final deal as I dish it in a little tray to have it cool in ernest for consumption. I enjoyed the meal to the fullest and couldn't lay down. I had to sit out for some good hours.

Wow! Finally, I mad with through this exceptional food contest. It wasn't to eat but to cook. Hmmmm! It definitely took me back to the drawing board were I have to revisit my cooking potential. A big thanks to @focusnow and @steemalive for this cooking challenge.
