Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Greetings group, I don't post much but would love some tips on cooking with Plantains. I tried baking one last night and it turned out fine, but rather dry. I don't like to use oil, so I'm hoping to avoid fried Plantain ideas, which are plentiful. With the baked Plantain I did a veggie bake in the oven to pour over it. I baked apples, brocolli, purple onions, chickpeas, garlic chunks, veggie broth, vinegar, chili powder, and lemon zest. It was interesting.........I love to cook with new things, the other veggie I've been playing with is the Yucca root. It' has an amazing flavor just steamed.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 you say you like to cook with new things -- would you consider making it with butter since you don't like to use oil? my daughter sometimes makes this for breakfast. the smell while it's cooking is heavenly. a favorite Filipino thing that we do with plantains is to slice them up into batons, add a sliver of jackfruit (available in cans in Asian stores) and a bit of brown sugar. Wrap it up in a spring roll wrapper and pan-fry or deep-fry. Absolutely delish. but yes, you'd have to use oil for that one:( you could also poach it in a bit of syrup. yum. -- http://www.stefoodie.net (now a wheat-free, egg-free, dairy-free blog) http://www.noodlesandrice.com (with b5media) http://www.beyondadobo.com On 4/25/06, Heidi Cusworth <hcusworth wrote: > > Greetings group, > > I don't post much but would love some tips on cooking with Plantains. > I tried baking one last night and it turned out fine, but rather dry. > I don't like to use oil, so I'm hoping to avoid fried Plantain ideas, > which are plentiful.
