Tantalise your quiver, give a little shiver. And, inhale.
Soft creamy Roast Plantain chunks baked in a marinade of fruity allspice, earthy nutmeg and fiery cayenne pepper.
This dish will eliminate any belief that vegan food can’t be simple to rustle up with a few choice ingredients.
Make this:
- When you’re at your local Asian greengrocers and want a vegetable that you don’t normally cook with
- When you’re limited for time and a dish that’ll have you punching the air as you bite into it
- When you’ve got Dave over from your team at work for a spot of dinner and want to impress him with your culinary skills
Roast Plantain was inspired through grabbing lunchtime dinners at the local Caribbean take out – and salivating over the roast plantain with rice.
Plantain is known as the cooking banana. It’s the unsweet variety of banana.
Roast Plantain is vegan and paleo.
