1/2 tsp orange peel (they sell it with the spices. You don't need to get an orange and shred the peel)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp allspice (little goes a long way with this)
1/2 cup sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 chopped apricot
1 black plantain, cut into sixteen parts
1 tsp olive oil
Alright, your plantain should look like this:

and you should have it cut up like this:

Your onions should be cut like this:

In wok or large frying pan bring oil to low to medium heat:

Coat pan once oil is warm then sprinkle spices over pan. Add onions and stir around until they are evenly coated and sizzling a bit. Then and plantain. More around until these are evenly coated as well. Cover and cook for 8-9 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add apricot and cover for five more minutes or until there are braised brown parts covering most of the plantain pieces, making sure to stir a few more times before done.

I take a lot of pictures when I cook if it's something I think is worth putting in the cookbook. I hate when I get a cookbook and there's no pictures and I'm all, "So WTF does this mean?!?" and all I needed was a picture :/
Hah. I haven't taken photos of making food though in AGES...used to have to do it all the time for coursework...and then I cut up the peppers. And then I added the peppers. And then I ate the peppers. The end.
