"These green plantains are mashed and mixed with peanut butter, salt and then baked. Delicious! This is a South American dish that I usually serve with eggs for breakfast."

Cook

Ready In
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
- Place plantain chunks and salt into a saucepan, and add water to cover plantains. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium, and simmer until a fork will easily pierce the plantains, about 20 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water, then drain the plantains. Allow to steam for a few minutes.
- Mash the plantain with the peanut butter and reserved water until fine. Allow to cool until you can handle it, then roll into 24 golf ball-sized pieces. Place onto prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven until the balls firm up, and turn golden brown, about 45 minutes.

Very yummy - especially with fried egg. Not bland at all, although I only had 3 plantains on hand, so it was a bit more peanutty. Also, I used natural p.b. - half of which was a honey-roasted ...

I found the recipe very band. The texture was also not particularly appealing.

Little chewy and an odd sourness. I took recommendations from other reviewers and added agave nectar as a sweetener. I also added some chopped pecans to add a little more flavor and a crunchy el...
