Grilled Green Plantain Purée
Grilled Green Plantain Purée: A smooth or lightly textured preparation made by crushing or blending the edible cooked ingredient with enough liquid to move. It should retain body rather than run like broth.
Context
Peel the green plantain and cook its firm, starchy flesh through. A grilled surface can hide an undercooked center; this is not interchangeable with soft, sweet ripe banana.
Example
A menu could use this preparation as a spooned accompaniment beside vegetables. This is an illustrative use, not a standardized recipe.
How THT uses it
At The Hidden Table, this preparation would be adjusted to the guests, the course and the ingredient available, so it contributes a clear purpose and helps make the experience distinctly yours.
