Stir well, remove from the heat and blend into the plantain mixture which should be thinck yet soft enough to pour.

When cooked, remove from the overn and allow to stand for approximately 5-10 mins before turning it out on a wire rack. Slice and serve with salted peanuts or as an accompaniment to spicy dishes.
