New recipe! ⭐️ Plantain and Pinto Stew with Aji Verde

Hi reader,

We have a super cozy and highly delicious all-veg stew coming 'atcha.

It's full of peppers and kale and warm, smoky spices. Plus there's some pinto beans to fill it out and then surprising little chunks of plantains! If you're not familiar with the vegetable, they are an amazing starchy little banana cousin that bring an unexpected, slightly sweet bit of creaminess in each bite.

The real fiery bonus to the dish is the aji verde that gets drizzled on top to your spice-loving heart's content. Aji Verde is a traditional Peruvian green sauce that is herby, creamy, and hot, hot, hot, and it's seriously stunning topping off this bowl of stew.

Enjoy!
