Description

Caribbean-style Plantain Curry is a vibrant and hearty vegan dish that blends the sweetness of ripe plantains with warm, aromatic spices and creamy coconut milk. It’s a comforting and flavorful curry perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 ripe plantains, peeled and sliced into thick rounds
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 Scotch bonnet pepper, seeded and chopped (optional for heat)
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp ground thyme
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic, ginger, and Scotch bonnet pepper (if using), and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add curry powder, turmeric, allspice, and thyme. Cook for another 1 minute to toast the spices.
  5. Stir in chopped tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly broken down.
  6. Pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Add plantain slices and season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until plantains are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving. Serve hot with rice or roti.

Notes

  • Use yellow-ripe plantains for the best balance of sweetness and texture.
  • Adjust spice level by adding more or less Scotch bonnet pepper.
  • This dish pairs well with jasmine rice, quinoa, or flatbreads.
