Caramelised Plantains with Island Couscous
Inspired by Ainsley’s journey around the Caribbean, here’s a delicious island salad using our Couscous.
Method
In a large frying pan over a medium-high heat, fry the chopped ripe plantains in the coconut oil until nicely caramelised and golden brown (about 5 minutes).
Meanwhile, make up the Couscous according to the packet instructions and mix with the coriander, spring onion, avocado, scotch bonnet chilli, cherry tomatoes and a small tin of black beans.
Toss together, season to taste and serve with the plantains scattered on top and the yoghurt dressing on the side (mix together the yoghurt, hot pepper sauce, a squeeze of lemon or lime and chopped mint – loosen with a drop of water if necessary).
