Plantain - Cooked or Boiled

Note: Boiled plantains make an easy-to-prepare base for meat or vegetable stews. Because of the amount of agricultural chemicals used in fruit cultivation, we suggest a good soap and hot-water scrub before cooking plantains this way. If you prefer, you may peel them before boiling. 

4 large plantains 

Drop unpeeled plantains in boiling water. 

Cook for 15-20 minutes until a test plantain is tender when pierced with a fork. 

Peel before serving.
