And so goes the song (by Faarax Siidow Faarax), a man listing his riches, trying to woo the woman he loves. A few posts ago, his fellow countryman, who lives in the semi-arid parts of Somalia, was dangling oodkac (jerky-style beef cubes) to entice his beloved. While oodkac is precious for nomads, it is potatoes, pumpkins and plantains that are prized by the inhabitants of the fertile south, the land irrigated by the rivers Jubba and Shabelle. What both these men prove is that just like a man, the way to a woman’s heart is also through her stomach.
We love Somalia, its arid and its fertile, and we love plantains just as much as we love oodkac. We did a post on plantain stew and in this post, we present yet another way of enjoying this delicious fruit. This baked plantain dish is a very simple yet elegant looking dessert.
