Few Ingredients + Big Flavor
Excluding avocado oil, salt and pepper, this recipe only calls for about 10 ingredients – three of which are spices. You get the drift! This pork and plantain bowl is not complicated, and it is easy to throw to together. It is great for dinner or breakfast, too!
Ripe Plantains
We usually use green plantains or unripe plantains to achieve a starchy, french fry like flavor and texture, but for this recipe we love ripe plantains. If you aren’t familiar with plantains yet, they look like oversized bananas and range in color from green to yellow and brown. Ripe plantains are the yellow and brown ones. They are softer, easier to peel and have a sweeter taste.
Baking Plantains
For this pork and plantain bowl we decided to minimize the amount of skillets needed and multitasking required and tried baking the plantains. The ripe plantains bake well! They get caramelized and tender in the middle and go great with the pork and spices used in this recipe. If you aren’t already a huge fan of this flavor combo, we hope this recipe sways you!
