Plentiful Plantains: AIP Plantain Recipes Roundup

Ah, plantains, the starchy darlings of a substantial proportion of the AIP community (the other one has got to be sweet potatoes)!  Looking for AIP plantain recipes?  If you find yourself making only tostones or plantain chips, or wonder what to do with plantains that are no longer green, check out this roundup of 111 perfectly AIP plantain recipes.  Loads of really creative bloggers out there!  Modifications are indicated wherever necessary for elimination phase AIP.

Some helpful tips:

• If you bought green plantains and don’t want to use them immediately or within the next few days, peel and store them in the freezer in a freezer-proof container/ packaging.
• Remove the peel off green unripe plantains more easily by cutting the ends off each plantain, scoring the peel and soaking the plantains in hot water for a minute or so.
• Batch-cook tostones by freezing them after the first cooking step.  Simply fry them up, flatten, allow to cool and store.  As and when you need to serve them, simply remove from the freezer and fry until hot and crisp.

What do you like making with plantains?  My family likes plátanos maduros, or pan-fried ripe plantains!
