    That sounds very tasty! I am curious about one thing. You said that you can serve it with plantain chips. What are they and how do you make them? I am only familiar with using plantain medicinally, and I’ve only seen it as a dried herb. I can’t imagine it in chips, but I am very interested!

    I’m from Texas – and in Texas plantain chips are more plentiful than where I live now. Plantains look kind of like bananas, but they aren’t eaten raw – only cooked. They are wonderful with chimichurri sauce!

    Oh, that kind of plantain! Now that makes much more sense!

    I may be spelling it wrong, but I was thinking of the green leaf kind. I do make chips out of kale, but but you definitely couldn’t dip them, and plantain seemed like it would be even more fragile. Now I get it. Thanks!
