Anyone that has been in Latin America would have seen this amazing ingredient, so versatile that I can’t even begin to count how many recipes there are for this little yet huge fruit.
Eat it ripe or green for two different flavours and textures and in this collection I go in detail on what it is, where to get it and how to cook it, plus the difference between yellow and green plantain, all with step-by-step video tutorials!
If you’ve never tried this humble but delicious ingredient I really encourage you to try it, you won’t be disappointed!

Plantain Bake with Chorizo
Venezuelan Sweet Fried Plantain Bake with Chorizo
If you like melted cheese, Spanish chorizo and sweet plantain then this is the dish for you.
Although the classic recipe doesn’t have Spanish chorizo I thought the flavour combination of the two made a great contrast and at the same time complemented each other.
