Boiled plantain is one of the simplest staples in Nigerian home cooking, made with nothing more than plantain and water. The choice of fruit decides the result: unripe plantain stays firm and savory, while ripe plantain turns soft and sweet. Both are traditionally served with egg sauce, garden egg stew, or a spoonful of palm oil, so the plain plantain acts as a mild base for bolder partners.
