• Plantains in coconut milk

  • kitchen_chick on June 22, 2019

    The recipe doesn't specify green or ripe plantains. I used ripe, but not overly ripe -- the plantains were still firm. Their sweetness infused with the coconut milk, making a tasty sweet sauce. The recipe recommends serving these with fish, which had me wondering if it's normally prepared with green plantains. Anyway, it's quite delicious as a sweet side or even dessert.

• Spinach stew

    It was a bit bland as written, so we increased the amount of peanut butter. We didn't measure, but I estimate we doubled the amount to about 1/2 C plus or minus some until we reached a point where the peanut flavor is fully present but not dominating. With the increased peanut butter, we really liked this. A good solid dish that can be a main or a nice veggie side. (3.5 - solid, good dish)
