Ingredients to prep the plantains for cooking: 4-5 large green plantains
1 tsp of turmeric
juice of 1 lime
2-3 cups of water
1 tsp of salt
Directions to prep the plantains for cooking:
First rinse your plantain skin. Then take a small knife and score the the plantain while following the ridges around the plantain. You must score through the tough 
skin but not cut the plantain itself. Then put your thumb inside and pry the skin off. It may take a little practice, but it will become easier. Then slice the plantains into 1/4 inch slices and place in a bowl with the water, lime juice, salt and turmeric. Allow to sit in the water for 10-15 minutes and then drain the liquid out of the bowl.  |
