Platano!

My new favorite food is the platano! So far, I believe that I have enjoyed it anyway I've had it prepared... though my favorite I think is very ripe platano, baked in the oven.

For those who aren't familiar with it, the platano looks like a very large banana. It is more of a starch than a fruit however. There are many, many different ways to prepare it. Some require platanos verdes (green) and some require plantanos maduros (ripe). You can fry them (in several different ways), boil them, bake them, put them in soups... anything you can imagine!

I will post a picture when I find one. I hope that you will all one-day get a chance to experience my beloved platanos!
