In a small kitchen in trinidad, a woman uses her fingertips to gently knead a ball of dough into shape. With each motion, she imagines the flavours of the dish she is preparing. It will be her family's favourite, the traditional trinidadian green plantain bake. She starts by grating green plantains into a bowl, then adds a handful of scallions, chopped chilies, garlic, thyme, and cumin. Next, she takes a large spoonful of brown sugar and sprinkles it over the mixture. Her hands move again to mix the ingredients together, this time with a tenderness that is mindful of her grandchildren's future enjoyment. Green plantains are a starchy vegetable native to south america. They are cooked like potatoes, or fried like french fries. They are often served with hot pepper sauce and spices like garlic, thyme, and cumin. The brown sugar adds sweetness to the dish.
