Plantain Pilé

What we know so far

Plantain pilé is a Bamiléké dish from the western highlands of Cameroon: ripe or half-ripe plantains boiled in their skins, pounded smooth in a mortar with salt and chilli, beaten with warm red palm oil until it turns orange and glossy, and finished with whole boiled red beans folded through. It is one of the plainest and most loved meals in the country, vegan by nature, eaten from a shared dish and often with slices of avocado on the side.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
