OH MY GOSH!!!! I have been looking for a plantain tart recipe for a minute!!! MY husband loves loves loves platain tarts. Now that we live in Nevada it is very hard to find West Indian restaurants. Anyway tried the recipe and presented to my dh. He asked me what restaurant I bought them from...need I say more?
I've made these 2 times so far using a frozen puff pastry. The filling is great, I substituted 1tbsp honey for sugar, and added 1/2tsp of baker's spice mix to give it that Devon House spiced flavour.
Filling is great, only 4 stars because I haven't tried the pastry.
Really tasty! Made these for an island themed party and they were a hit. You don't even need to serve them with ice cream. Also I decided to add cinnamon to the plantain mix and I sprinkled a little on top along with the sugar...made a huge difference. Definitely add some cinnamon to balance out the nutmeg.
These were FANTASTIC! Part of our 2009 Thanksgiving dinner (Caribbean Styled Dinner) and I was chastised for not making more!LOL!
The dough was crumbly and could not be rolled. I had to add an egg and some more butter to it. The tart ended up very bland and not sweet at all.
in all honesty i think they tasted a bit like they should have. my husband didnt like them at all he thought they were bland. im going to us this again but not booil the plantain i will fry it instead seems that keeps the sweetness about it.
I added 1 tsp cinnamon to filling and 2 tsp sugar to the pasty. Everyone LOVED them.
Personally i hate bananas but i made these tarts as part of my GCSE food technology and i loved them. all the spices and flavourings really make all the difference.
