Smashed Plantains
"Plantains cannot be eaten raw like regular bananas. They are ripe when they are black and just starting to soften to the touch. If plantains are green allow them to ripen at least 10 days or put in a paper bag to speed up the process. This recipe is from Christine Cushing. Enjoy!"

Tagged this to make for a neighbor who had 4 plantains almost ripe ~ Not sure why she bought 'em because she didn't seem to know what to do with 'em! Simple as could be, & afterwards I gave her a copy of the recipe! I did keep a portion for the 2 of us to enjoy, & that we did! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Newest Zaar Tag]

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
