Step-by-Step Instructions for Caribbean-Style Plantain Curry

  • Prepare the Plantains: Start by peeling the two ripe plantains and slicing them into ½-inch rounds.
  • Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat for about 2 minutes until shimmering.
  • Sauté the Plantains: Add the sliced plantains to the pan, ensuring they are in a single layer, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  • Add Spices: Once the plantains are golden, stir in 1 tablespoon of curry powder and 1 teaspoon of salt, mixing well for about 1 minute.
  • Incorporate Coconut Milk: Pour in 1 can of coconut milk, stirring gently to combine and bring to a gentle simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Simmer and Thicken: Allow the curry to simmer for approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
  • Serve the Curry: Remove from heat and serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

This curry tastes best served fresh but can be stored and reheated. Consider making it a day in advance for deeper flavors.
