Instructions
- 1
Peel the plantains, or slightly underripe bananas, slice them diagonally into 2 cm pieces, and rub them lightly with lime juice.
- 2
In a pot, gently saute the onion and garlic in olive oil for 4 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and chili pepper, then soften over medium heat for 6 minutes.
10 min10:00 - 3
Add the coconut milk and salt, then cook over low heat for 5 minutes without boiling.
5 min05:00 - 4
Nestle the plantain slices into the sauce, cover, and cook over low heat for 12 minutes, until the plantain softens.
12 min12:00 - 5
Before removing from the heat, add the dendê oil and chopped cilantro. Shake the pot gently to mix so the bananas do not fall apart. Serve hot.
💡 Tip: If you cannot find plantains in Turkey, choose a slightly underripe Cavendish banana and reduce the cooking time to 8 minutes, because very ripe banana falls apart.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with white rice pilaf, farofa, or rice and beans.
