I found a new treat at Trader Joes this week. Plantain chips! Plantains are like bananas, but without the sweetness and overpowering flavor. They're a little firmer and starchier and are used a lot in South American cuisine. When the plantains are sliced and fried they make tasty little snacks!
Plantain chips are great on their own, but they're also great with a cilantro yogurt dip. The tanginess of the dip really complements the chips. And the green and yellow are just so dang gunned purty together.
Cilantro Yogurt Dip1/2 cup pesto
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
juice of half a lemon
salt
pepper
1) Combine all ingredients and chill before serving
It is 1 a.m., and I really really want to eat this. NOW.
ReplyDeleteI am skeptical of the combo, but that dip sounds yummy in 10yt's tummy.

ReplyDeleteAmber that is SOOOO cool! Do you know that means your body doesn't produce a certain enzyme? It's a Ph thing in your mouth that makes the cilantro taste like soap. I PPH genetics. Ask your parents if one or both of them experiences the same thing.
Where does one find a cup of Pesto?
ReplyDeleteIsn't Pesto a whole other process to make?
This reminds me of a Persian Yogurt dressing my best friends mom makes.

Wow Kate I just totally learned something new!
I PPH cilantro and anything lemony.
I think ginger tastes like soap... is that something similar or do I just have lame taste buds?
