Côte d’Ivoire made it to the World Cup Round of 32 for the first time!. Such achievement calls for perfectly delicious food: Alloco!.

Alloco is a popular Ivorian dish made from ripe plantains that are sliced and deep-fried until golden and caramelized. It originates from Côte d'Ivoire but is widely consumed across West Africa, where plantains are a staple ingredient and fried variations form an essential part of street food culture.

The name “alloco” comes from the Baoulé language, spoken in central Côte d'Ivoire, and refers directly to the preparation of plantains as a standalone dish or accompaniment. Its appeal lies in its simplicity and the balance of sweet and savory flavors that result from cooking ripe plantains at high heat until the edges are crisp and the interior remains soft.

The preparation involves slicing ripe, yellow plantains into rounds or diagonal pieces, which are then fried in palm oil or vegetable oil until browned and slightly caramelized.
