Devised to use up over-ripe plantains, ukpor is from the Eastern states of Nigeria, and is eaten with tomato stew. Akamu (ogi) and ‘drinking garri’ are also popular accompaniments. Traditionally, steamed in leaves, I have used ramekins. Serve one per person with tomato and cucumber salsa for a stylish starter; two puddings with the salsa or more traditional accompaniments makes a light but tasty meal.
