The Most Wondrous Plantain Recipes
Plantain is one of the most beloved foods in the Caribbean and, unsurprisingly so, in the Dominican Republic too. We love it so much that we have made platano the representation of our "dominicanidad". #PlatanoPower is our new motto. These are all great plantain recipes – most with video – and all of our favorites, like tostones, fritos maduros, mofongo, pasteles, and (of course!) mangú. Don't miss our How to Peel Plantains tutorial with step-by-step photos and video, and our Complete Guide to Plantains.
