This is one of my adopted recipes. I love plaintains! It looks like a dish my family and I would enjoy, so I hope to make it and edit it in the future.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 lbs green plantains, or other green bananas, peeled
salt
2 cups chicken stock
ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter
1 pinch cinnamon
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 cup light cream or 1 cup milk
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumb
2 eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • (Grated Gruyere cheese can be used instead of cheddar cheese.)
  • Place bananas in saucepan and add just enough chicken stock to cover.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until bananas are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Using a potato masher, mash until smooth (chicken stock will be absorbed).
  • Let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, heat butter in a small frypan and saute onions until tender.
  • Add the onions, cream, beaten eggs to cooked bananas until combined; season with salt, nutmeg and cinnamon to taste.
  • Mixture will be quite moist.
  • Place banana mixture in a buttered shallow baking dish.
  • Combine cheese with bread crumbs; sprinkle over top.
  • Bake at 350 for 35 - 40 minutes or until top is golden.
