Ingredients

2 tilapia fillets
2 ripe plantains
1 can coconut milk
2 tablespoons red palm oil
1 lime (juiced)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh okra, sliced (optional)
Peanuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Peel the ripe plantains and cut them into chunks.
In a pot, bring the coconut milk to a simmer and add the plantain chunks. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until soft.
While the plantains are cooking, season the tilapia fillets with salt, pepper, and lime juice.
In a frying pan, heat the red palm oil over medium heat. Add the tilapia fillets and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.
Once the plantains are soft, mash them in the coconut milk until creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
If using okra, sauté the sliced okra in a little red palm oil until tender.
Serve the tilapia on a bed of coconut plantain mash, topped with sautéed okra and garnish with crushed peanuts if desired.
