I never cook meat but decided for ZWT 7 to give this a go. I used diced beef. I have never seen a plantain in Australia so could not use it and used broccoli as a sub for green beans. I did enjoy it immensely. The meat component was a little dry but that may well be the fault of the "vegetarian" cook. The overall result though was really tasty.
