Belizean Fu-Fu (Mashed Plantain) image

I bought a recipe book by a local women's group on my recent trip to Belize (Silly Bug & Bittle Recipes) and this one sounds like something I would like. I love plantains and I love mashed sweet potatoes, so I'm guessing I would like this. The original recipe calls for just the plantain but the site requires at least 2 ingredients so I added butter and salt as I have a feeling I'll add a little of both, but will give it a try plain first and then modify as needed.

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 ripe plantain
butter (optional)
salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Plantains are ripe when the skin turns black and they are soft to the touch. Peel the plantain and cut in half. (I've found it easiest to peel by scoring the skin with a knife in several spots before attempting to peel).
  • Put plantain in a pot covered with water and boil until soft (I have no idea on the time, will update the recipe after I try it).
  • Drain water and mash in pot with a potato masher.
  • Add butter and salt as to taste.

This dish was a complete disaster. The plantains were mushy, and the lime-onion sauce was too sour.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but I found this recipe to be surprisingly mild. The lime-onion sauce helped to balance out the heat of the peppers.

I love the smoky flavor that the roasted plantains give to the fu fu. It's a nice change from the boiled plantains that I'm used to.
