Cut the ripe plantains into pieces and boil them in water for about 5 minutes with the skin on.

Remove the plantains from the boiling water and let them cool slightly before peeling off the skin.

Chop the peeled plantains into bite-sized pieces.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Add the salted fish to the pan to flavor the oil.

Add the sliced onion, garlic, and pimento pepper to the pan and cook gently, avoiding burning the garlic.

Add black pepper to the mixture and continue cooking until fragrant.

Add the chopped boiled plantains to the pan and turn the heat back up to medium to caramelize the plantains.

Mix everything together and let it warm through for a couple of minutes.
