Plantain Cake

Ingredients

• 2 plantains - over-ripe - black skin

• ¼ scotch bonnet chilli (de-seeded if you wish)

• 2cm/1 inch ginger, peeled, freshly grated

• 2 onions, roughly chopped

• 120g/4oz plain flour

• Pinch of salt

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200°C / fan 180°C / 390°F / gas 6.

2. Peel the plantain then put the flesh in a blender with the chilli, ginger and onion, roughly blend then tip into a bowl.

3. Mix in the flour and salt.

4. Stir 3 tablespoons of rapeseed oil into the mix then spoon into a greased and lined baking tin. Bake in a preheated oven for about 40 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Tip

Silicone bakeware makes this so much easier.
