what are Ripe Plantain Wrapped?

They are savory plantain wraps made from a mixture of mashed ripe plantains, brown sugar and butter, while some people also add diced pork belly (pork rind) or grated cheese to their wrapped.

The ingredients are wrapped with plantain leaves and baked in the oven. These ripe plantains wraps are sweet, delicious and they go perfect with grilled meats, especially pork.

If you’re a fan of ripe plantains, then these Ripe Plantain Wrapped are for you. And if you’re not yet a fan, I’d bet you will be soon!

I love plantains, baked plantains, fried plantains, plantain soup or mashed plantains, it doesn’t matter how they’re served, I could eat plantains every day and be happy.

Like most Colombians, they’ve always been a staple in my family’s kitchen and I make a dish using green or ripe plantains at least twice per week.
