Practical Plans for Preparing Plantains
In different areas, plantains are prepared and eaten as other starchy vegetables. In East Africa, they are beaten and boiled into a type of porridge. Elsewhere, roasting and baking are among the more popular preparations. Perhaps the most familiar plantain preparation in this hemisphere, though, is for tostones, in which slightly under-ripe plantain slices are fried, pounded flat or squeezed in a small press, and fried again until crisp. |
