Guest guest Report post Posted April 27, 2006 Got it now. I couldn't tell for sure since sent my posts through out of order today. Now when you place the plantain rounds in the soup with the skins on, the skin will stay on. When you serve the soup just life them out and place in the bowl with the skins still on. THe guest can push the platain round out of the skin with their spoon. If you want to do it before you serve the soup that's fine also.

You mentioned scrubbing the skins and cutting in rounds, then toss the rounds into the soup and then add rounds to each bowl and that the skins would keep it from getting mushy. So do you peel off the skins at some point? Judy Donna wrote: Scrub the skin real good and slice into 2 inch rounds leaving the skin on. Make a good spicy soup like one in the soup files or even the Mexican recipe files, and toss the rounds in. When the soup is done you serve in bowls with a round or two of the plantains, the skin will keep it from cooking up mushy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted April 27, 2006 Thanks for explaining. I may have to try this. I have only tried pan frying.
