thanks for the nice video -lesson. I am actually a single Haitian male who never cook in his life. I feel I need to learn now. I have been spending too much on buying food. can u have your mom cut the plantain in pieces to be fried? I need to learn the proper way and your mom seems like an expert! also can she show me how to cook rice? just regular rice mixed with peas and how to cook these frozen chicken sold at Walmart? thanks!
It looks easy but it is extremely hard. It takes years of practice. In Philadelphia, they cost $.59 each on average, every now and then, they have them on sale 10 for $1.00.
I should've watched this video before I tried to make maduros. I thought it would be like peeling a banana... boy was I wrong. I'm from Miami but here in Louisville, where I live now, plantains are rather expensive and many places don't carry them. I live with two Kentuckians and they put a cover over my black plantains so people wouldn't be grossed out! And they think themselves "cultured" and "worldly."
I can't do that for my life =S! Were those half-ripe? The peel came off so easy! I seem to have a battle with Green plantains here in D.R. all the time.
@zavreio no they were not half ripe. but what I say to people you have to cut deep enough to touch the meat of the plantain ill be making another video on how to cut it soon
My husband is haitian and I wanted to cook something authenticly haitian....is there a technique to help green plantains ripen? maybe like for bananas by putting them in a paper bag maybe? thanks
Hey thank you. They are new to me in the last five years. I use to think they were big unripe bananas. I know a susta from the island that cooks them at her shows all kind a ways but funny about the recipes, so I was curious about the different dishes you can use them in. Alot of us are very unfamiliar with this fruit. Matter of fact, we can learn alot from your different dishes. I would love to see you in action. Thanks you so much : )
Seriously, I thought you peeled it like a banana. This is probably why I was having such a difficult time. How many ways can you cook it? What foods do you put them in?
Lol. You can it with a spicy condiment called Pikez. You can boil it, boil it with the skin on, put it in soup, fry it. You can also let it sit in the fridge for a while like she said in the video and then fry it. Mmmm, so many ways to eat it.
I swear i replied to your comment lol, Maipai101 said almost everything if you boil it make sure you cut it on the side like my mom did but dont peel it when water hit the plantain and cook the plantain the skin will come right off. you can also mash it like mash potatoes i should make a video when i get my new camera :((
There is a lot of videos here on youtube that will show you that. But i will do a video on that soon. my camera broke so i had to use my labtop sorry.
