    Ash I live in in Trinidad, that's in the Caribbean and my grandmother taught me to greese my hand with a little oil before peeling the green plantain or banana, the sticky coat or stain will not stay on. We cook plantain when it's half ripe or fully ripe. First time seeing or heard of matooke. We have lots of avocados/zabocas but ours are much larger.

      Matooke is mostly found in Uganda...and differently prepared all using banana leaves and banana stem banana fibres check. Thats y Uganda is called banana republic coz we have many spices of banana

    Hi Ash.....some advice on how to cook that green plantain. My Tanzania friend taught me. You cut them like cassava katogo. Then cook them several time and pour out the water like 3 time. Then put peanut and cook together on low fire. It will taste nice exactly like matooke. Try it next time enjoy

    Thats plantain. I have never seen anyone boil green plantain. In Jamaica we cook only ripe plantains. Green plantain is usually lightly salted and fried as a staple or as chips. It is also used to make porridge. There is an easier way to peel plantains or bananas. Cut both ends, slit the sides and use your hands to lift it out of the peels. No sweat. To avoid your hands being stained, rub cooking oil on your hands and knife before peeling.
