Epicurean Kentuckian: Plantanos Maduros



2012-01-31 - Photo by Pen. They look like giant bananas in the produce section, but plantains have a whole different flavor. Cooked when they look like a ripe banana, they have a flavor closer to potatoes than fruit. But if you let them get much, much riper, until the skin is nearly all black, they take on a sweet tropical fruitiness. They are delicious sliced and fried, with a tiny sprinkle of sugar, and served with a cheese like chevre or a more traditional queso blanco.
