Peel the ripe plantains and cut them into chunks.

Boil them in lightly salted water until soft (about 10–15 minutes).

While the plantains are boiling, heat the palm oil in a small saucepan.

Add the sliced onions and sauté until they soften and turn slightly golden.

Add the ginger and garlic (if using), and the pepper. Cook for another 1–2 minutes. Set aside.

Drain the cooked plantains and place them in a large bowl or traditional earthenware (ayiwa).

Mash them while gradually mixing in the palm oil and spice mixture.

Adjust with salt to taste and mix until you get a smooth but thick consistency.

Serve warm with a boiled egg on top.

Add peanuts or slices of avocado on the side if desired.
