When I go shopping, I buy as much plantains as I can because where there is plantain, there is something to cook. It doesn't matter the state in which the plantains are. The unripe ones could be transformed into a lovely one-pot dish or some crunchy plantain chips if I want to indulge a little. The ripe ones can be fried, boiled, roasted or even made into a pie or pancake. Plantains are so versatile, nutritious and tasty!
