Plantains are an all-season staple and a simple side dish that can be served with a whole lot of meals. I personally enjoy them with roasted beef and a sour dip. That aside, this #MyCookbook recipe is to show you a stress-free way to boil plantains without letting oxidation still their shine. These plantains are boiled with the skin on so that they do not turn dark or brown, but retain their white color when cooked.
