Plantains are incredibly popular in Latin, African, and Asian cuisines. You can find plantains at well-stocked grocery stores, or Latin, African, and Asian markets. You’re looking for ripe yellow plantains with lots of black spots (they should be only slightly firm to the touch). If yours are not ripe, leave them on the counter for several days. Green plantains can take 8 to 12 days to ripen, but you can speed up the process by storing them in a brown paper bag with an apple or banana (don’t seal tightly).
