Do you have an overripe plantain staring forlornly at you in the kitchen?

 

Then put it to good use by making these plantain meatballs for the kids.

This is just a ***-ingredient easy recipe with just plantain, minced meat and breadcrumbs.

 

Ingredients

 

  • 250g minced meat or ground beef
  • ½ or ¾ medium overripe plantain
  • ¼ cup seasoned breadcrumbs

 

Method

  • Peel and cut plantains into a bowl. Mash with a masher or fork till smooth. You can use your blender too if you are making a bigger batch.
  • Add the minced meat and breadcrumbs to the bowl, then mix well to combine.
  • Roll mixture into small balls and fry in hot oil for 2-*** minutes or till the brown and cook well.
  • Please note: Meatballs freeze well, so you can make a lot and then freeze after.
    I find it easier this way as I can take out and add to the children’s meal, give them to snack on and also add to their lunchbox.

This was nursery school snacks of life :rolleyes: would literally cause a earthquake if mum does not buy it while taking me to school. Good thing you posted this I could try it on my own now. Not to worry I would keep you posted on the aftermath ;)
