Best 4 Belizean Fu Fu Mashed Plantain Recipes

BELIZEAN FU-FU (MASHED PLANTAIN)

Steps:

• Plantains are ripe when the skin turns black and they are soft to the touch. Peel the plantain and cut in half. (I've found it easiest to peel by scoring the skin with a knife in several spots before attempting to peel).
• Put plantain in a pot covered with water and boil until soft (I have no idea on the time, will update the recipe after I try it).
• Drain water and mash in pot with a potato masher.
• Add butter and salt as to taste.
