Recipes from the Caribbean

Plantains (bananas as substitute?) in Bacon
This recipe boggles the mind.  Imagine fruit cooked with bacon fat !!!    Have not tried  this recipe as yet but it sounds delicious.

4 ripe peeled plantains
Wrap bacon around each and secure with toothpicks
Bake at 350 deg F or 180 deg  C   for 30 to 40 mins until bacon is crispy

Banana Chicken
I have had a variation of this at  a social gathering and it was great.

4 chicken pieces to be mixed  in 2 tbsp flour and little curry powder depending on how spicy you want it to be.
Fry the pieces in oil until golden brown, reduce heat, cover and let cook until tender and then add the bananas cut into bit size pieces.  Let cook for another 5 mins.
Cook rice using your usual method, lay it on a dish and serve with the chicken/banana mixture  spread on top.
