Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 quarts water
2 large plantains, peeled (green)
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 onion, minced
1 celery rib, diced small
1 dash salt, to taste
1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large pot, bring several quarts of water to a boil, then drop the peeled plantains into the boiling water, reduce heat at least to medium-low & cook for about 15 minutes, or until quite tender.
Drain the plantains, then first chop them up & put them in a large bowl before mashing them somewhat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk & peanut butter, then add the onion & celery. Season to taste with a bit of salt.
Add this mixture to the plantains, stirring to mix thoroughly.
Pour the plantain mixture into a medium-size casserole dish, then sprinkle the top with the breadcrumbs.
Bake for about 35-45 minutes or until golden brown.
