I'm excited to learn the Yiddish word for plantain, my favorite food in the world. ;-) In Africa, I'd eat baked plantain with roasted peanuts (tasty street food). Here I eat them with mozzarella or feta cheese. I'll try the sour cream and brown sugar next time.

P.S. So, you bake the plantain with the skin on?

paz,

I learned about plantains relatively late, but I am becoming quite devoted. Yes, I cook them with the skins on.

These look fantastic... I've tried this once, they taste great.

I always try to find new ways to make old dishes better. We just recently tackled Gefilte fish on our show: You guys can check it out and let us know what you think!
