Ingredients
- 4.0667 tsp coconut oil
- 0.25 each yellow onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 1.5 tsp jerk seasoning
- 1.0338 cup black beans
- 1 cup okra
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.4557 each green plantain
Method
- 01Peel and slice the green plantain into 1-inch rounds. Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil, add the plantain slices, and boil for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and keep warm.
- 02In a heavy-bottomed skillet, melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 03Add the minced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
- 04Stir in the jerk seasoning, letting it bloom in the hot oil for 30 seconds until highly aromatic.
- 05Add the prepared black beans and sliced okra to the skillet. Toss continuously to coat in the spices and sauté for 5-7 minutes, allowing the okra to soften and lose its raw texture.
- 06If the skillet begins to look dry, splash in 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to deglaze the pan and create a light spice coating.
- 07Season with salt to taste. Serve the jerk black beans and okra alongside the warm steamed plantains.
