Cooked (Or Boiled) Plantain (Africa)
 
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.
 
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.
