"Plantain party bowl🌱Plantains are abundant in Jamaica. In fact, I just had a huge bowl of green plantain porridge!!! Seeing as I’m in Jamaica enjoying plantains, I’m reposting this party bowl 🎉. Saucy spiced black beans, Pico De Gallo, roasted plantains. 💚An easy meal to put together and there’s something to please everyone...I think. My youngest says, ‘you can’t go wrong with rice and beans.’ 💚"

A Note from Feedfeed
If you have a can of black beans, ripe plantains and tomatoes, you can make this bowl! You can skip the rice and add quinoa, or serve on a bed of greens for a lighter lunch!
