Plantains

This Caribbean vegetarian dish is inspired from Provisions: the roots of Caribbean cooking by Michelle and Susanne Rousseau. Plantain are not readily found in Colorado – so when found it was a small celebration…perhaps i just did not know where to look. However – – next to the plantains were mangoes – so the inspiration to have mango chutney and African pepper compote was ignited.

The plantains are roasted on the outside grill and served with grilled tofu, Mango Chutney and African pepper compote . It is a mixture of flavors that will bring us to try other versions of “7 ways the world eats Plantains.”
