Green Plantain Sweet Porridge
Plantains look similar to
bananas, but plantains are bigger, have a different taste, and texture.
However, plantains and banana's do have one thing in common, as the plantain
ripens, it becomes sweeter and its color changes from green to yellow to black,
just like bananas. Green Plantains are sold in the fresh produce section of
most supermarkets.
Ingredients
3 green plantains
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup whole milk
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
¼ cup of raw sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 cups of water
Directions
Cut off the tips of each
plantain and make an incision along the whole length of the banana. Slowly
slide your thumb along the incision and remove the skin. Chop the plantain
place into a blender. Add flour and ½ cup water blend for 2 minutes until smooth (add
more water if needed). Bring the remaining cups of water to boil in a large
saucepan reduce to medium heat. Add the plantain mixture to the boiling water
