Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 I'm hooked on the Food Net. I love watching and seeing what I can change in a recipe to make it vegan. Well, today on Rocker on the Road he did sandwiches and one of the places he went to a place that used plantains for the bread. Here's how they did it.... Peel on large plantain and slice in half length wise deep fry until it floats drain press hot halves flat deep fry to crisp drain make sandwich of course the sandwiches they were making aren't vegan or even vegetarian but I can see great possibilities for this "bread".

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 When we visit the Rasa restaurant in Stoke Newington I always have fried plantain for a starter. It is delicious. Jo new "bread" for a sandwich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Hi Catherine, plantains look just like bananas, they are cousins, maybe a little bigger, except they can never be eaten raw, in the caribean,(puerto rico, dominican republic, jamaica etc.) it is part of the culture to eat one everyday since it is tropical, grows easily and it's cheap and abundant. It's known for its potassium and fiber. it is the potato of the caribean. It is fasicnatin because they change to three colors, and each color has a different taste, first green, then yellow, then black. When they are black, they are the sweetest. the trick to keeping one green forever is to keep it in the refridgerator. at room temperature, it will turn colors, within a week. here's more info and pictures. http://www.turbana.com/produ_recipes/prodplantain.htm - Catherine Turner 2/2/2005 8:40:39 PM RE: new "bread" for a sandwich Hi people, Sorry - what are plaintains? I've really never heard of them. Are they a vegetable or what? Catherine anouk sickler [zurumato]02 February 2005 04:51 Subject: RE: new "bread" for a sandwich I think what that man was making is called Tostones, if I am not mistaken. I use to eat those with ketchup or garlic when I was little in dominican republic. you can also boil them, and mash them up just like you would potatoes, then put a little olive oil and salt or fried onions. (these are the green plaintains), it works the same for yellow ones. The yellow ones, the darker they are the sweeter, you can also boil them, mash them up just like you would potatoes, then put a little cinammon on them. That is how my aunt prepares them. She likes them as green as possible. The green ones are heck to peel. - go_vegan ;raw-vegan-gulfcoast ;united_vegan_homemakers ;Vegan ;Vegan- ; ; ;vegan-network 2/1/2005 1:10:40 PM new "bread" for a sandwich I'm hooked on the Food Net.
