Hello, today I will be writing a few on this very meal.
Here is a very nutritious meal..Rice, ripe plantain and scent leaf sauce.
Rice
Rice is the most important food.Rich in nutrients and vitamins and minerals, it an excellent source of complex carbohydrates. In my country, rice is generally known as the universal meal.
Nutritional value
Rice protein ranks high in nutritional quality among cereals, protein content is modest. Environmental factors (soil fertility, wet or dry season, solar radiation, and temperature during grain development) and crop management (added nitrogen fertilizer, plant spacing) affect rice protein content. The nutritional content of rice also depends on the variety, how it is processed post-harvest, and how it is prepared for consumption.
Cooking method
Rice is first washed with a clean water and then sieve, put into a pot filled with water and then parboil for some minutes and then sieved one more time.
Just like the image above, I only parboil the rice because of the type of meal I wanted to achieve.
Sauce
The sauce used is a local scent leaf with pumu as it is locally called, the meat is cooked to a certain temperature the proceeds to sauce preparation.
Plantain
Plantain used here is an unripe plantain.They are peeled and then slice into flat shape to enable frying.
Plantain brings a special taste to the meal and also it brings more protein to a growing child.
