Koki with Fried Plantain Medallions
Steamed black-eyed pea and shrimp cakes infused with vibrant spinach, served with golden-brown plantain medallions for a satisfyingly sweet and savory crunch.
INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup cooked black-eyed peas
4 oz raw shrimp
1 large egg
0.25 tbsp red palm oil
0.25 medium plantain
0.5 tsp avocado oil
0.5 cup fresh spinach
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Pulse the cooked black-eyed peas in a food processor until a thick, slightly textured paste forms.
Finely mince the raw shrimp and fold them into the bean paste along with the egg and chopped spinach.
Stir in the red palm oil, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is uniform in color.
Spoon the mixture into parchment paper packets and steam over boiling water for 25 minutes until firm.
While steaming, slice the plantain into rounds and lightly coat them with avocado oil.
Pan-sear the plantain medallions in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until they are caramelized and tender.
Unwrap the koki cakes and serve immediately alongside the warm plantain medallions.
