Details
Harvested at the peak of ripeness, these versatile 6 lb. IQF sliced pre-fried plantains are then quickly and individually frozen to maintain their freshness at their best form. Coming conveniently pre-sliced, adding these plantains to your menu allows for so many versatile options, while saving on the cost of labor. When thawed properly, add these plantains into African, Caribbean, and Latin dishes to incorporate a delicious way to add in potassium and fiber that will have customers full and satisfied when leaving your establishment.
Plantains are an extremely versatile fruit, most commonly sliced on the bias to allow for more surface area when fried in oil to create slightly crispy, deeply golden maduros that can be served warm with sugar or simply finished off with salt. As a variation of maduros, tostones are also fried, then prepared further by being lightly smashed and fried again. Another use for fried plantains is mofongo: mashed, fried plantains that are mixed with garlic paste and pork and served as a side with seafood or salad, or it can be served in a broth-based soup. Offer a popular street food from Ghana by making fried plantains dusted with chili pepper, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg, otherwise known as kelewele, for a crowd-pleasing appetizer. Try your hand at creating traditional aborrajados: fried plantains that are sandwiched around mozzarella cheese, deep fried again, and served like a mini sandwich snack.
For a new dish entirely that is usually served morning till night, mangu is a traditional Dominican dish that is simply mashed plantains that are mixed with a bit of butter or oil. Mangu is usually served with pickled red onions on top and is treated as a side to your other main dishes. To utilize plantains in your main dishes, try making an African-inspired stew of plantains, beans, and vegetables for a hearty twist on your daily soup offering. With so many creations to be discovered, your next signature menu item will benefit from these IQF sliced plantains.
When plantains are first picked, they start to lose their nutritional value, and freezing in masses lumps the fruit together. Using the IQF method prevents this from happening, and instead keeps the plantain's flavor, structure, nutritional benefits, and natural appearance intact, letting your dishes look and taste their best every time. Thanks to their preservation, the plantains taste deliciously fresh; customers will never guess they were actually frozen!
