Okay, if you're part of a diasporic community in Australia, there's a strong chance you're all over Plantain as an ingredient! But this incredible, versatile and super delicious ingredient was previously it's not grown locally, was hard-to-find, and expensive. THAT'S ALL CHANGING. (Coming soon to a fancy restaurant near you!)

Plantain is Yumi's prediction for hitting the mainstream here in restaurants, cafes, cooking shows and at home - - so get onto it first!

TO MAKE SIMPLE PLANTAIN CHIPS YOU'LL NEED:

3 yellowish to black plantains

1 flat teaspoon cayenne pepper

generous pinch of salt

4mm sunflower oil for frying

ALSO - We are very excited to be coming to Sydney Writers Festival! Saturday 25th May, 11am at Carriageworks, Simon and I will be joined by Alex from Cornersmith, Lucy 'Every Night of the Week' Tweed and all our usual LoLs and obsessive food chat so please come along!
