Answer 1

Plantain is very versatile. I use it all the times. Here are some of my take on them.

When green I cook it just like potatoes, peel off the green peel and cook it just until tender and mash it just like you would with the potatoes. You can eat it with bake chicken, grill fish or steak (as in steak and potatoe).

Make plantain chips. Wala! This take some preparation time. Peel green skin off and slice the plantain very thin and soak them for a bit. Afterward, drain and dry off and fry them as potatoes chips and season with salt.

Well, I don't want to give you too many of my secret away. Use it in cooking as you would with potatoes. Shh! This is way better than potatoes due to the potassium and other stuff found in the bananas. Also, it's easily digestable in our system.

Ripe plantain, you can slice them up diagnal angle and saute them in the skillet until brown and eat them with the main dish. It's sweet, warm and delicious.

Make dessert with them. Make batter and put ripe plantain in the batter and fry them up until golden brown. If you want to be fancy and special eat them with your favorite ice cream flavor sprinkled with nuts. Similar to a sundae, but fried.

Also, last but not least, bake them and enjoy them. I won't give this recipe away, but you got the idea. Yummy!

PLATANUTRES (PLANTAIN FRIED CHIPS)

May be served as garnish for pork, chicken or turkey. May be varied by toasting bread and dipping in syrup for breakfast or lunch.

Plantains have to be cooked first. You can eat them when green, or when they turn yellow, but either way, have to be cooked.We eat tostones in our house. Peel green plantains, cut about 2"thick on a bias. Deep fry until slightly brown. (just a few minutes)Then drain on paper towels, place between 2 paper bags, and smash them down to flatten. Then return to oil and fry until golden. (about another 2 minutes)Season with salt as soon as they come out of the oil.

They can also be baked once they turn yellow in the oven with butter and brown sugar. They are soft and sweet this way.

Planta is like a banana eaten regularly in south and central America. Not sure if there is any toxicity to dogs? Plantain the common weed that grows in yards is very edible and even medicinal to humans. I've eaten it. It is not poisonous to humans and I doubt it would be poisonous to dogs. Intuitively most animals no what they can and cannot eat when it comes to plants. My opinion; watch him closely. Any adverse reactions take him to the vet. You could call the vet to be safe anyways. Hope this helps.
