You start with green plantains, mash them up pretty well. Add roasted red sweet peppers, sautéed portabellas, and peas.

The traditional way to serve this is in a big lump, with meat on top. We like a different style, and we’ll compare ours to anyone’s. We make wafers, about a quarter inch thick and 2″ across. You can have it with beef or as a vegetarian, gluten free dish, and it’s wonderful either way. Friday night and thru the weekend.
