HOW TO COOK UNRIPE PLANTAIN JOLLOF WITH VEGGIES.

Peel and chop unripe plantains into small pieces.

Rinse rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Blend tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, garlic, ginger, and scotch bonnet pepper until smooth.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the blended mixture to the pot and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add thyme, bay leaves, curry powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot and stir well.

Pour in chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

Add the rinsed rice and chopped plantains to the pot, stirring to combine.

Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until rice is cooked.

Stir in green peas and diced carrots, cover, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
