Jamaican Plantain Fritters

 

Mmm Mmm Good!

What’s better than a platter full of delicious fritters? It could be saltfish, banana, plantain, bacon or sausage it does not matter, I’ll take them all. I had an over ripe plantain in the refrigerator for the better part of a week and seeing as though it was my morning to make breakfast, I figured why not make some fritters.

Jamaican fritters are probably one of the easiest things you can whip up for breakfast that will make everyone happy. They are so versatile, you can basically add anything to them and they will turn out delicious. We generally make sausage, bacon, salt fish or banana fritters. Since its pumpkin month I decided to make some pumpkin fritters.

Chocolate Banana Fritters

 "Feast of Saint Valentine"

I will say that this month of chocolate recipes have truly tested my recipe imagination skills. I find the month were I focus on one ingredient, making the recipes versatile tend to be quite a challenge.  So far using chocolate I’ve made french toast, orange hot chocolate, ribs, a milk shake and now fritters. Cocoa and banana yes, please and thank you.

'Stamp and go' is a Jamaican pancake

 Pancake Month!

pan·cake/ˈpanˌkāk/

Noun; A thin, flat cake of batter, usually fried and turned in a pan.

If we believe everything Google says, then the Jamaican breakfast dish 'Stamp and go' is indeed a pancake. This is normally a meat filled pancake, salt fish (salted cod) is primarily the meat used. However sausages, callaloo, ackee, conch and so much more are also used. Its such a versatile dish, normally consumed for breakfast or as an appetizer with a sweet dipping sauce, but if you ask me you can have Stamp and Go any time of the day.
