Braised plantains, Gblissi… or a versatile meal!!

February 13, 2011 by Tropical Foodies

Name: Braised plantains, Gblissi
Eaten in: West Africa
Foodie: Maryse

Little trick:

  • Mature plantains tend to get sticky when baking; to avoid some cleaning, use a piece of aluminum foil and oil
  • This is an easy, simple and great idea for a snack… or an alternative to rice or pasta as an accompaniment to your favourite meal


You can serve it with any kind of meat, a tomato sauce, as is, hot or cold. It also preserves well in the fridge.
