How to Make Belizean Fu Fu Mashed Plantain

  1. Select 2-3 ripe plantains. Ripe plantains have black skin and are soft to the touch.
  2. Peel the plantains and cut them in half lengthwise.
  3. Place plantain halves in a medium-sized pot and cover with enough water to submerge them completely.
  4. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the plantains are very soft and easily pierced with a fork.
  5. Carefully drain the water from the pot.
  6. Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the plantains in the pot until smooth and creamy.
  7. Add 1-2 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 teaspoon of salt (or to taste). Stir to combine.
  8. Serve warm as a side dish, or enjoy as a unique and delicious breakfast option.
