Plantain & Sweet Potato Nourish Bowl

It is a very tasty and unique dish, so many good parts together!
I made the sauce by blending chipotle adobo peppers from a can with the mayo and lemon juice until it was smooth, and it worked very well! (It was just too spicy for me so I added more mayo to dilute).
I had red beans instead of black ones, still very tasty but the texture was a bit more mushy, I guess the black beans would not have crumbled as much, I'll try to find some next time!
Overall, I think it was an amazing recipe, that I'll make again (especially to impress guests!), but it won't be a daily one for me, too many little things makes my brain think I worked way harder than I actually did while cooking this XD

I found "chipotle adobo peppers" in a can, but it seems it might not be a sauce? I'll cook this dish tomorrow, I might just have to mix what's in this can in a blender to make it a sauce, I don't know, I'll try that and report back once cooked and tasted!

Hey Nohya, here in the Netherlands, it's sold as "chipotle sauce" at our local grocery store, but it closely resembles the adobo sauce found in the can of chipotle adobo peppers you have. However, ours is a bit thinner, more acidic, and less spicy than that. So if you're using the sauce from your can, start with a smaller amount to avoid too much heat! You can also substitute chipotle adobo sauce with a hot sauce like Sriracha or Tabasco. Blending the chipotle peppers from your can works too... just start with less, as it'll likely be spicier! 💛

Thank you for your answer! I've indeed discovered that blending and adding the same amount is too spicy for me so I've added more mayo and used the extra chipotle adobo mayo for two other recipes from your app ^^ It was really good, so next time I'll just use like a third of the ammount on the recipe and it should work well!

My husband and I think this may be our favourite recipe on the app. All the flavours blend in together so smoothly which makes it such a delicious and easy to make recipe !

So happy to hear that you both loved it, D! It's always great when a recipe becomes a favourite - especially when it's easy and delicious 🥰

Instant favorite with the toddler. It was nice to share a meal the whole family could enjoy!

My God, this dish is so good. Straight to my favourites list.

Really tasty and very filling.

A delicious combination!

Great!

We made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious. I haven’t cooked plantains for years. Yum! This will be a repeat recipe for sure. 👍🏼

Absolutely amazing! I love how the different flavours, the sweet and salty and spicy all come together perfectly. My new favorite dish!

Yay! We're smiling from ear to ear reading this, Marie ☺️

I absolutely blew the minds off my meat-eating family with this one!

Loved it! 10/10 for sure!!! First I didn’t get the combination with plantains, but it is such a good flavor combination! We added jalapeños as a garnish which also worked very well

So glad the nourish bowl was enjoyed, D, thank you!

Very tasty!
Great flavor combo, simple to make and its a great recipe to pair with the chipotle spiced black bean oatmeal breakfast because they share ingredients in common and it uses up the left overs.

This dish reminded me of the month I spent in Ecuador , plantains and rice were staple menu items. So I felt nostalgic eating it.

Awe love the connection to Ecuador, Shannon, how special 🥹 so glad the bowl was enjoyed too!

I liked this recipe very much. Do not skip out in making the salsa. I just used some jarred salsa I had in hand and although it was adequate I am sure the fresh juicy tomatoes would have been better!
