Fresh Plantains Fresh Plantain - Single Fresh Plantain, Each Plantains, Green
See all
½ cup full-fat coconut milk
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
¼ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp fresh cilantro or parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Place the plantain rounds in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook for 15–18 minutes, until the plantains are completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance.
2
Drain the plantains and return them to the saucepan. Set the pan over low heat for about 1 minute to evaporate any remaining surface moisture.
