The summer is ending, but before it does I want to pass on one of my favorite BBQ recipe treats.
Everybody and their dog is watching their carb intake these days. This recipe is a great way to vary your carb intake away from grains. You might not realize that nutritionally bananas are really more of a carb that a fruit. In fact most places that banana’s are grown that is exactly how they use them, as the carb part of the meal.
I got this recipe from a Cuban friend of mine.
- Ripe plantain ( these are not banana’s but very similar, you can find them in lots of regular grocery stores now, but if you can’t go to a caribbean grocery store) It’s important that the plantain is ripe, some other ways to cook them call for green ones, but not this one
- Put it on the BBQ in the skin. lowish heat
- Flip over after 10 ish minutes, and then wait until the skin of the peel splits
- Slice open and put in goat’s cheese (soft). You can do this in the peel or take it out and mix it up in a bowl
Serve fresh and hot.
