We went to Uganda a few years ago & were fed a lot of matoke by our hosts. Having discovered that our local Tesco stocks plantain now, we'd quite like to give it a go at home. As far as I can tell, the Ugandan way to prepare mashed plantains is to wrap chunks of unripe plantains in their leaves & steam them over a charcoal fire. We have no leaves & clearly no charcoal fire in our English kitchen so need another way to do it!
I've found recipes suggesting boiling or steaming them works well but it seems like they need to be steamed for hours or boiled for about 25 minutes. These timings don't seem right in relation to each other to me. Any suggestions about how we can recreate this dish at home?
