Mashed Plantains

Here's the second part to the Cuban feast mentioned in yesterday's post (from Food Network's Rachael Ray). It took me a little while to extract the recipes from Rachael's mess of instructions. I get the concept behind mashing four recipes into one overall set of directions, but unless you plan on making an entire feast, the individual recipes are damn hard to follow.

--3 Green Plantains
--Waxed Paper
--1/2 cup Chicken Stock
--Olive Olive
--Salt

Slit the skins of the plantains from end to end (to vent them for microwave cooking). Wrap each plantain in wax paper, twisting the ends. Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes together (or 90 seconds individually). Peel and mash with the chicken stock and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt.
