It should be said here that I am a starch girl, for real. Growing up, my Norwegian blood caused me to do things like put mashed potatoes on my lefse (a thin tortilla made from potatoes)! So of course I love plantains, the starchier cousin of the banana.
I knew right away that we would be eating rice and beans with fried plantains this week. You can too, as I've posted the recipe!
It is my version of the West of the Andes sandwich from the Weary Traveler and one of the best sandwiches in the world.
I can heartily recommend my North of Andes Sandwich, but if you're in Madison, definitely stop in and try it!
