Plantains

I cut the ends off the green plantains, cut the remaining plantains into two or three chunks each, leaving the skin on. Using a sharp knife I score the skins in three or four places on each chunk right down to the meat, then boil the plantains (sometimes for more than an hour depending on how green they are) in salted water. When the skins are floating in the water or peel off easily, and the plantains are fork tender, I remove them from the water and allow to cool. I use these instead of potatoes when I'm looking for an alternative starch to serve with my meals. They're delicious made this way!
