Platanos Asados con Coco (Coconut Baked Plantains) / Burgers with Blue Cheese Mayo & Sherry Vidalia Onions / Natto Spring Rolls



Recipe: Platanos Asados con Coco (Coconut Baked Plantains)


The warm spice of the cinnamon and wonderful texture from the coconut flakes helps make this an amazing Colombian side dish.

One other tip for a great burger? Handle the meat as little as possible, and pack it as loosely as you can while still keeping the patties together.

This recipe for Natto Spring Rolls comes from Elizabeth Andoh, one of my favorite cookbook authors. She pairs natto with green scallions and seaweed in the filling. I think that basically anything rolled up and deep fried will be good, but imagine biting into a freshly fried spring roll, its shell breaking off in crispy, golden-brown shards to a piping-hot center of natto beans.
