Raw Sweet Plantain Dressing

Don't throw away your plantains that are over ripe! When the skin turns black it is actually a fully ripened plantain that can be eaten raw just like you would eat a banana!

I owe this dressing to my sis Tuff Like Iron who was the first to share with us sistrens in Trinidad, the idea that we can actually eat a plantain raw.

I made this recipe based on the suggestion and am so happy to share with you all.

You will need:

1  ripe or 70% black skinned plantain

2 stalks chive

1 red or green pimento

1 tbs coconut or olive oil

1 tsp juice of 1 lemon/lime ( this can be optional)

1 pinch of pink salt

1 dash of cayenne pepper (optional)

Add a slice of avocado and a few basil leaves in the summer to add more flavour and healthy fats!

Blend everything together, It will become a thick creamy live dressing. 

Serve it up room temperature on a salad, or spread over a fresh salad-hummus wrap. 

I personally love love love this sauce on my chickpea or black bean veggie burgers/patties/fritters or any type of baked patty. 

The sweet tangy flavour is the perfect match for a savoury dish!

Fulljoy,

Ila
