(Serves 2)
1 plantain *
2 cups (dry weight) Thai Jasmine rice
2.5 cups water
Cook rice in rice cooker or wash the rice in the pan then add the water. Bring to the boil then simmer for 10 minutes covered. Meanwhile, peel the plantain (like you would a banana) slice thinly add to a frying pan. Then add 2 tbsp of water, cover with a lid and heat on high until bubbling. Then simmer until soft and bright yellow.
Serve. Delicious quick meal.
*Plantains are basically cooking bananas. They cannot be eaten raw and are much more starchy than bananas. They are actually vegetables and are grown in tropical countries. I bought mine at my local Arab shop. When steam fried as above they taste sweet, soft, creamy and succulent.
