Jamaican Plantain Tarts

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!

Best I ever had!!!

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.

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.

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.

Wanted a taste of home and this did the trick. I did add a splash of white rum and cinnamon, so good.

Great recipe! I love plantain tarts and I have been searching for a recipe for the longest. My search stops here. Filling was great and the pastry had the right consistency

Great recipe! But to get the plantain filling the customary pink that is the tradition, use way more red colouring - 10 drops for 3 plantains is about right.

Never came out as expected.

Loved it.

I love it! I switched things up by using store brought discos de enpanadas. I cut the enpanada disc in half fried them let cool and sprinkled w powder sugar. Absolutely delicious!

The plantain filling was perfectly balanced in flavour, no additional sugar was required. Lots of compliments!

The filling needed cinnamon. The pastry, TERRIBLE.

I made this and it came out perfectly!! Just as I remembered from childhood. I was worried because I used less flour and more water in the dough that the ingredients recommended. It came out perfectly tho. I let it bake for about 35 minutes. Came out great!

Filling is delicious but pastry was a chore to roll out! after hours in the fridge was difficult to roll and kept tearing. Realized less tearing if I rolled the pastry a bit thicker.made about 12 not 24.

Excellent recipe and great taste!!
