Answer 5

first you gotta make sure that's it's ripe (not green).  Then, you can either fry or boil it.

FRY: Peal and cut, fry on medium - high heat until golden brown.

BOIL: Cut in 2 - 3 pieces and put in boiling water (with skin, do not peal yet).  Boil for approx. 10-15 mins or until slightly soft.  Let cool then peal and cut accordingly.
