How To Cook Plantains At Every Stage of Ripeness | Yewande Komolafe | NYT Cooking

Today on the channel Yewande Komolafe is walking us through three of her recipes, all of which use plantains at different stages of ripeness. In Plantains With Jammy Tomatoes and Eggs, Yewande uses firm yellow plantains because they hold their shape and texture while absorbing the flavors of the stew. For Caramelized Plantains With Beans, Scallions and Lemon, ripe yellow plantains spotted with large black dots are best because they’re softer and sweeter. And her Plantain and Cornmeal Fritters use very ripe plantains with all-black peels, which soak up more oil when fried.
