Set out a scale and the equipment for Kelewele. Heat to 350°F / 177°C oil and give it 5 minutes so the surface is actually hot. Weigh plantain, fresh ginger, cayenne, nutmeg, neutral oil, kosher salt. Kelewele is cooked in Accra as its own plate, not as a copy of a restaurant menu. Toss ripe plantain with ginger and cayenne and fry it until the edges caramelize. Amounts are for 4 from foods this library can count.
