Grilled Green Plantain Stock
Grilled Green Plantain Stock: A cooking base made by simmering suitable cooked ingredients or clean food-grade trimmings in water, then straining. It is a base for another dish, not necessarily a finished soup.
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 the cooking liquid for rice. 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.
