This is one of my adopted recipes. I love plaintains! It looks like a dish my family and I would enjoy, so I hope to make it and edit it in the future. Ingredients:
3 lbs green plantains, or other green bananas, peeled |
salt |
2 cups chicken stock |
ground nutmeg |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 pinch cinnamon |
1 small onion, chopped |
1 cup grated cheddar cheese |
1 cup light cream or 1 cup milk |
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumb |
2 eggs, beaten |
Directions:
1. (Grated Gruyere cheese can be used instead of cheddar cheese.)
2. Place bananas in saucepan and add just enough chicken stock to cover.
3. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until bananas are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
4. Using a potato masher, mash until smooth (chicken stock will be absorbed).
5. Let cool slightly.
6. Meanwhile, heat butter in a small frypan and saute onions until tender.
7. Add the onions, cream, beaten eggs to cooked bananas until combined; season with salt, nutmeg and cinnamon to taste.
8. Mixture will be quite moist.
9. Place banana mixture in a buttered shallow baking dish.
10. Combine cheese with bread crumbs; sprinkle over top.
11. Bake at 350 for 35 - 40 minutes or until top is golden.
