Cooking with plantains

Yes, I cook with Plantians once in a while, cut them small and thin and then fry them...they taste good...I dont have them all the time, because I like them fried.

Plantains are a member of the banana family. They are a starchy, low in sugar variety that is cooked before serving as it is unsuitable raw. It is used in many savory dishes somewhat like a potato would be used and is very popular in Western Africa and the Caribbean countries. It is usually fried or baked. I have had them fried before. They are surprisingly good. If they are ripe(black) then they are better for a desert. If they are green they can be used in place of a potato in some dishes.
