Nigerians love meat (especially assorted meats) and fried plantain. Having both in one savoury dish is what Dodorishi is all about. This dish is a burst of flavours, from sweet fried plantains to savoury meats, spicy stew and vegetables. Like all Nosak Famili Recipes, our Dodorishi recipe has been simplified and can be made flexible to your taste and preferences.

INGREDIENTS
  • Half Kilo of Assorted Meats (Beef, Goat Meat, Offals, Cow Leg, Snails, Chicken etc. based on your choice)
  • 6 Plum Tomatoes
  • 3 Bell Peppers (Red, Green, Yellow)
  • 5 Habanero peppers
  • 2 Onions
  • Curry Powder
  • Thyme
  • Seasoning Cubes
  • Bay leaves
  • Salt
  • Nosak Famili Vegetable Oil
  • 2-3 Pieces of Ripe Plantains
COOKING DIRECTION
  1. Wash your assorted meats, put in a pot; season with salt, curry/thyme, seasoning cubes and leave for 20 minutes to allow the ingredients penetrate. Then add a little water and cook till tender. If using snails, chicken and offals, cook separately in different pots since they have different cooking times.
  2. Then chop the meats into small cubes and set aside.
  3. Wash and chop the vegetables – onions, bell peppers and habanero peppers and set aside.
  4. Blend tomatoes, onions and red bell peppers into a pepper mix. Pour in a pot and allow to boil until the water is dried.
  5. Slice the plantains into cubes and fry with vegetable oil.
  6. Sieve out the fried plantain from the oil and use the same oil to fry your beef, chicken, snails, offals etc.
  7. Put some of the vegetable oil from the plantain in a saucepan and sauté the chopped veggies. Sprinkle in the spices – salt, seasoning cube, chilli, curry, thyme – and fry till soft.
  8. Pour in your pre-cooked pepper mix with the veggies and allow to fry for a bit. When the pepper is well fried, add the stock from your meats and allow to simmer.
  9. Then add your fried plantains and stir. Allow to simmer for 3 minutes
  10. Add your chopped assorted meats, stir and allow to cook for a few minutes. Check for salt and seasoning and readjust the taste if necessary.
  11. Add sliced onions and bay leaves (optional) for that extra crunch and flavour. Then lower the heat and allow to simmer a little.
  12. Serve and enjoy!
