- Mix all ingredients until forming a dough.
- Form a sort of sausage. Once formed, pass through flour so it binds well. Wrap in plantain leaves and tie. Cook in boiling water for approximately one hour. Once cooked, let cool. Wrap in aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight (about 12 hours). Slice to thickness you like.
- Pass through beaten egg and fry.
