Preparation
Peel the green plantains: cut off the ends, slit the skin lengthwise and remove it without damaging the still-firm flesh.
Cut the plantains into chunks and place them in a large pot.
Add the sliced onion, diced tomato and a drizzle of oil on top.
Cover halfway with water, cover the pot and simmer over low heat for 35-40 minutes until the plantains are very tender.
Roughly mash with a wooden spoon right in the pot to get an even but still slightly chunky texture.
Adjust the seasoning with salt, serve hot alongside a meat or peanut sauce, it is the national dish of Uganda.
