Pan-fried plantain
This recipe was based on Madhur Jaffrey’s, “Sautéed Yellow Plantain” from World Vegetarian. I used less oil than called for in her recipe.
- One plantain, yellow with black spots
- 1/2-1 tsp olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
Heat oil in pan over medium flame. Peel plantain. After cutting off the stem, it peeled pretty much like a banana. Cut into thirds lengthwise, then into 2-3″ long pieces. Add plantain to pan with oil. Cook 8-12 minutes, turning to get all sides browned. Add salt and pepper to taste.
These reminded me of lemony, pan-fried potatoes with a slight banana flavor.
Sweet potato biscuits
Sweet potato biscuits from Isa Chandra Moskowitz’, Appetite for Reduction. A good breakfast drizzled with a little maple syrup.
I microwave-baked the potato in a microwave potato baking bag my mom gave me years ago. It works pretty well. Potatoes don’t dry out as much when nuked in the bag.

Sauerkraut
I don’t know if it’s just the salt or something else, but often after 8 or more hours on the bike I crave Bubbie’s Sauerkraut.
