Belizean Fu-Fu (Mashed Plantain)

I bought a recipe book by a local women’s group on my recent trip to Belize (Silly Bug & Bittle Recipes) and this one sounds like something I would like. I love plantains and I love mashed sweet potatoes, so I’m guessing I would like this. The original recipe calls for just the plantain but the site requires at least 2 ingredients so I added butter and salt as I have a feeling I’ll add a little of both, but will give it a try plain first and then modify as needed.

Rainbow salad with plantain chips

Make sure to use green plantain (rather than ripe plantain) for this vibrant salad, which is full of fresh fruit and vegetables coated in a zesty lime and ginger dressing. Each serving provides 397 kcal, 5.5g protein, 49g carbohydrates (of which 27g sugars), 17g fat (of which 3g saturates), 11g fibre and 0.6g salt.
