- 200 g Peanut butter(unsweetened, smooth or crunchy)
- 1 medium Onion(finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves(minced)
- 1 tsp Ginger(grated)
- 200 g Tomatoes(pureed or finely chopped)

👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Prepare the peanut sauce: In a saucepan, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- 2
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the pureed tomatoes and the finely chopped scotch bonnet pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Whisk in the peanut butter until smooth. Gradually add the broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Season with salt and black pepper. If using, add a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors. Let it simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is rich and creamy. Add more broth if it becomes too thick.
- 4
While the sauce simmers, prepare the Aloko: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat until shimmering (around 350°F/175°C).
- 5
Carefully add the plantain slices to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Lightly salt the Aloko immediately after frying.

Serve the hot, crispy Aloko immediately with the warm peanut sauce on the side for dipping, or drizzled over the top.
💡 專業提示
- ✓Use ripe plantains that are mostly yellow with some black spots for the best sweetness and texture.
- ✓Adjust the amount of scotch bonnet pepper to your spice preference. For a milder sauce, use only a small piece or omit it entirely.
- ✓Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for frying; too cool will result in greasy plantains, too hot will burn them quickly.
