Caribbean Dinner Party Recipes

After way too many years, I mean we just celebrated our 12 year anniversary of this blog, I have FINALLY answered your requests to create an eboo k! I decided that instead of waiting on a publisher to validate my 10 years of work, I would simply self publish a small ebook let and use that income to fund other projects I am working on. Because face it, as much FREE content as I have put out over these years, content is only free to those consuming, not for me as a Content Creator.

Here is a Bonus for one of my most popular recipes, Jamaican Plantain Porridge.

Plantain Porridge

This recipe teaches you how to cook Jamaican Plantain Porridge. It is a viral post because of the fool proof technique detailed in making almost vegan (more vegetarian) plantain porridge the way a Jamaican grandmother would. In fact, it was made by mother for me to help me produce ample breast milk whilst breastfeeding. It is a wholesome, healthy breakfast for the entire family and quite tasty and budget friendly and another great use of green plantains / platano. Learn how to make fresh coconut milk from scratch to use in this recipe.

Ingredients

380-400g green plantains
3 cups water
1 cup coconut cream (learn how to make it)
1 cinnamon bark
1/8 teaspoon salt (or a pinch)
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
freshly grated nutmeg (about 1/8 tsp or 6 slides on grater)

Instructions

If you need to make coconut milk from scratch, here is how to do so. Make it and set it aside.
Wash and peel and slice green plantains and slice in about 1.5 inches. Learn how to peel plantains, the same process applies for both green and ripe ones.
Put the plantains and water in a blender and pulse until chopped fine then blend to a smooth pure.
Pour it in a pot with cinnamon and turn on the stove on low heat. Keep stirring to prevent lumps. A lumpy plantain porridge is the result of an untended pot. Add salt and stir.
Add coconut cream and stir for about 15 minutes
Add milk and stir.
Add vanilla and nutmeg and stir.
After about 20-25 minutes of total cooking time, turn off heat, add condensed milk.

Enjoy! (Serves 2)

Notes

You can use store bought coconut cream and coconut milk for this recipe instead of fresh coconut cream and cow’s milk. There will be a compromise in taste, however, because nothing compares to fresh coconut milk in my estimation. Nevertheless, it can be done and will still be tasty.
