Cooking Plantain?

[BettySuarez]

I have two but not really sure what to do with them - how ripe do they need to be? Does the skin need to be black?

Yes it is I had to check. LRD you can porridge out of it with condensed milk water vanilla cinnamon and nutmeg. It's luffly really really luffly.

Ooh, that sounds delicious. Thank you!

They're heavier than doughnuts though. Really leaden in the stomach.

Ooh, Inneedofbrandy, I know what you mean! Yes, heavy and yes, yummy

... and thanks to that, I'm going to have to make some cinnamon pancakes :)

I really feel like proper comfort food now.

You can eat green plantains or make a porridge from them. Google tostones or patacones the south American way of frying green plantains, lovely with salt.

Thank you everyone for these lovely ideas

Right you bitches, I have to go to the market now.
