Plantain Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the onion, garlic, jalapeno, soy sauce, sugar, thyme, cinnamon, allspice and a pinch of salt together in a food processor and blend for a couple of minutes, scraping up pieces that cling to the walls to make sure everything is blended evenly.
• Combine the jerk rub and the chicken legs in a casserole dish that is just big enough to fit the chicken pieces. Work the rub into the chicken, making sure to put the mixture under the skin as well. Cover and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Drizzle the marinated chicken with vegetable oil and season with salt. Roast it in the marinade in the center rack of the oven until an instant-read thermometer shows an internal temperature of 165 degrees, about 40 minutes. Let the chicken cool slightly, then pull off the meat in large shreds, discarding the bones. Toss the shredded chicken with any leftover juices in the pan.
• Sandwich build: Spread some Pickapeppa Sour Cream on both sides of the bread. Place some of the Mango Chutney on the bread. Put on a layer of shredded chicken and top with some Fried Plaintains and cilantro. Serve extra plantains on the side. Enjoy, man!
• Mix together the sour cream, pickapeppa sauce and lime zest in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Mix together the mangos, sugar, raisins, ginger, garlic, jalapeno and salt to taste in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• Combine the mango mixture with the vinegar and turmeric in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent the chutney from sticking to the pan until thickened and thoroughly combined, about 20 minutes.
• Fill a Dutch oven halfway with canola oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Peel the plantain and slice it lengthwise into long thin strips. (A mandolin slicer will give you the best results.) You can crack the peppercorns by crushing them with a heavy pan on a cutting board; you are looking for a very coarse grind. Drop the plantain strips in the hot oil and allow them to fry up crispy, about 1 minute. Transfer the plantains directly to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately season with salt and the cracked black peppercorns.

Steps:

• For Chutney:
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add plantain; sauté until golden, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix pineapple, 1/2 cup wine, stock and chili in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until most of liquid evaporates and pineapple is soft, about 10 minutes. Add plantain and stir to blend. Season with salt and pepper.
• For fish:
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Mix lime juice, shallots and honey in blender. Gradually add oil and blend well. Brush mixture liberally over fish. Season fish with salt and pepper.
• Grill fish until cooked through, basting with lime mixture, about 4 minutes per side. Serve with chutney.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a medium (10-inch) ovenproof saute pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add the plums, apple, brown sugar, orange juice, Port, cinnamon, star anise, mace, and salt. Bring to a boil on top of the stove, place in the oven, and roast for 25 to 35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced and syrupy.
• Remove from the oven and discard the star anise and cinnamon stick. (Be careful; I wrap a kitchen towel or oven mitt around the handle of the pan to remind myself that it's very hot!) Mash the fruit roughly with a dinner fork. Serve at room temperature or cold with cheese and crackers.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the juice of 1/2 of lime, sweet chili sauce, mustard, horseradish and vinegar. Set aside.
• Heat 1/2-inch of oil in 12-inch heavy pan.
• Cut plantain on diagonal into 1-inch thick pieces, remove peel.
• When oil is hot, add the plantains and fry both sides until golden.
• Drain on paper bag, and sprinkle with salt, and minced garlic. With a flat bottomed, heat proof, glass bowl, smash plantains evenly flat, embedding garlic into them. Return to hot oil and fry until dark golden brown. Remove, drain again on a paper bag, adding more coarse salt, to taste, the red pepper flakes, the cayenne pepper and a squeeze of lime.
• Serve while hot with sweet heat sauce.

Steps:

• Melt butter with olive oil in a large saute pan over low heat. Add potatoes, stirring to coat, and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add onion, garlic, ginger, mustard seeds, curry paste, chile powder, and cardamom. Stir well and cook until onions are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Add plantains, and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Let cool. Season with salt; stir in scallions just before serving. Plantain chutney may be kept in an airtight container, refrigerated up to 3 days.
