These ones were halfway ripe, so I made mashed plantains with chicken in tomato sauce with peppers, and adorned with some lettuce and broccoli. I think I'll have to buy more plantains soon... Comfort food, anyone?

6/21/11 - Plantains
Ok, bear with me for a bit. But I love plantains. Back home, they are our version of potatoes. They are versatile, can be made into so many dishes, tastes so good, is not horribly bad for you... but they are expensive in the US, overall. But I saw them yesterday on 'sale' (about 10% cheaper than their usual expensive price) and had to buy two, just because. I miss them being so available and affordable.
