Plantain (or Moko) Baked In Orange Juice (recipe)
2012-01-02 05:01:00 My mother first made this recipe in 2008 and it was a hit! Plantain is rarely showcased this formally on dinner tables and it really is a shame. In this case, lengths of ripe plantain are oven-baked with orange juice and zest. The result is creamy, with a slightly caramelized exterior. My personal suggestions with ...

Plantain and Chicken Skewers
2007-12-03 15:12:00 "Yes we have no bananas..."Having accepted that plantains are not going to taste like bananas, Freddie has tried them again. In Shepherds Bush market there is a huge selection of fruit and vegetables from around the world and even better, queues of people who are willing to help you learn how to cook them. A woman waiting in the queue to pay, recommended that I buy the blackest plantain, the ones that you would reject if they were bananas. Plantain is more fibrous than a banana and has less sugar but as it ripens, the starch turns to sucrose. I took my black plantains home and cut them into chunks and marinaded them with the chicken. Freddie gave these kebabs 9 out of 10.Plantain and Chicken kebabsServes 4-54 chicken fillets, boned and skinned1 tbsp of jerk seasoning2 ripe plantainJuice of 1 lime1 garlic clove, crushed2 tbsp of olive oilSalt and ground pepper to seasonWooden skewersPlantain will take a few days to ripen.

P is for Plantain
2007-11-28 20:26:00 "..the city is not an urban jungle, it is a human zoo."(Desmond Morris, anthropologist)For the Great Big Vegetable Challenge, we have grown pots of chilli peppers, herbs and tomato plants in our little patio. I have even allowed mushrooms to sprout in the airing cupboard. But I know that cities are not always easy places to show children where food comes from. You have to play to the strength of where you live and when it comes to finding out more about unfamiliar vegetables, the city comes into its own. A few months ago we did a bit of advance research into plantains, which is our next vegetable. Well it is more of fruit, looking like a bunch of large green bananas. We took the bus to Notting Hill to enjoy the annual carnival. In the streets that lead off the main carnival route, there are hundreds of food stalls selling different Caribbean and African delicacies. People turn their basements into makeshift kitchens. We drifted from house to house, sampling goat curry, sucking on ...

Fried Plantain (recipe)
2007-06-18 06:25:00 Fried Plantain is a simple snack that appears to be common on tabletops across the Caribbean. I’ve grown up eating them my father’s way which is to wait for the plantain skins to turn almost black before panfrying them on high heat, until they are slightly charred on the outside. Then, when done, immediately sprinkle ...

Kiss Your Plantain!
2007-05-16 21:57:00 Recently, an apprentice of ours was bitten by a tick on her arm. I've never ever ever seen a tick here and neither has Wolf, and he's been here nearly thirty years. But ah well, she pulled a tick off of her arm (inner elbow crease area), and the bite site proceeded to swell up, get a ring of red around it, become white and pitted in the center and cause her muscle pain in the surrounding area. Now, I wasn't home when this happened, I was in South Dakota. She was worried it might be lyme's disease. I've had no experience with Lyme's so I was worried too.When I got home I looked at it and thought to myself, "hmmm, looks like an infected spider bite, where's the Plantain?" and said so too, but with the ring of red and muscle pain I was concerned and spaced out the Plantain. I looked at various medical picture of the bull's eye type rash that sometimes accompanies Lyme's, it didn't look anything like her red ring but some of the symptoms were the same. I printed off David Wins...
