Croquettes de banane plantain, curry de tofu
Bonjour !
Nous partons pour un long voyage aujourd'hui, aux Antilles et dans l'Océan Indien. Ces îles sont riches en recettes diversifiées et très différentes de la métropole.
Les croquettes de banane plantain viennent des Antilles, composées de la Guadeloupe, la Martinique, Saint-Bartélémy et Saint-Martin : https://aistoucuisine.com/recette/croquettes-de-banane-plantain-a-viande-hachee/
J'ai eu du mal à cuire correctement l'une de mes bananes plantains, soyez sûr-e-s qu'elles sont restées suffisamment longtemps dans l'eau bouillante avant de les sortir car, une fois ouvertes, vous ne pouvez plus les cuire comme il faut... ou du moins, je n'ai pas trouvé comment.
Les deux plats sont sur cette photo.
L'île de la Réunion nous offre le cari de tofu : https://www.iledelareunion.net/cuisine-reunion/cari-de-thon-129.htm
J’ai remplacé le thon par des blocs de tofu et la sauce d’huîtres par de la sauce soja.
