How to make fried plantain rolls

August 10, 2020

Fried plantain rolls

I love plantains!

Here’s how to make fried plantain rolls:

This weekend my family and I relaxed a bit. Since our return from Napa for a quick family vacation, I haven’t cooked as much as I did before our trip. I guess all that wine is working its way through my system.

I was still excited to cook something special for my family. We usually bond over our love plantains, and so this weekend presented the perfect opportunity to bond even more. We enjoy boiled plantains, roasted plantains, plantain pancakes, baked plantains (see recipe), and of course, fried plantains. So, I decided to step up my plantain game with some saltfish and toothpicks enhancing my fried plantains rolls. The fam wanted more! I suspect that this is going to be a favorite in our household.

This is a very simple recipe makes it easy to impress your plantain and saltfish loving guests, friends and family. Here’s how to make plantain rolls stuffed with saltfish.

    Mayma, I am always awed by your recipes. I wish I could just grab them right from my screen and set my table to enjoy them. Let’s not talk about your absolutely amazing presentations that are always on point 100 out of 100 times.
    It’s clear to see that you truly have a passion for cooking that radiates from your presentations.
    I look forward to preparing quite a few of your recipes. I’m now not only a fan, but a Cheerleader too😊😊😊

Meet Mayma

Sakafete! Growing up in Dominica, food was central to socializing and in abundance. Cooking with my family was one of the highlights of my youth. We grew our produce and raised livestock, which often made it to our kitchen table. With my mother and grandmother's guidance, I discovered my passion for cooking at age 9. We used lots of verbal recipes then. Today, I share those culinary experiences with my children, using the fundamentals of Dominican cooking and making it our own. I'm not a trained cook/chef, however, as I embark on my food journey, I invite you to experience foods from the Caribbean island of Dominica. Let's cook!
