Labouyi Banann (Plantain Porridge) is one Haitian dish that I can say I knew how to make at a young age; I’ve been making this goodness since I was about 12 maybe 13 years old. I loved it so much that I watched my mom make it and mimicked her. Several years later, I still love this stuff, it’s a hearty breakfast or evening treat!
This is number 3 for the Labouyi (Porridge) Series. I have more to come soon; Hope you enjoy this series!
