hi guys it's Dana with Whole Health datacom and today I'm going to teach you how to make plantain wraps and first thing you might ask is what is a plantain wrap well plantain wrap is an alternative that somebody especially somebody that has gut issues leaky gut or other sort of autoimmune issues where they should be eating no gluten or grains this isn't a bread alternative basically so I use it in place of like a tortilla sometimes you just want to be able to wrap your food in something or you want something that is kind of bread like and this is perfect it's really easy to make the hardest part is finding green plantains now when they're green they are not ripe as they start to turn yellow and brown they start to get sweeter and a lot of people compare them to a banana because they look like a banana but really that's where the comparison ends so what you're going to need for making the plantain wraps is you're going to need three green plantains if they start to turn a little bit yellow you can still get away with using them for this that's not going to be a problem the first thing we're going to do is we're going to peel our plantains and I already started this one but I'll show you with the next one exactly what I did so I take the plantain and I cut off the tips of it and then I slice just all the way down the edge so that there is a section where I can get my fingernails underneath and slide it through because I'm going to you know basically I'm going to pull it off okay so we're going to just kind of dice up our plantains and I'm going to do all three of these it should make approximately if these were cubed about four cups of diced panting okay so after I've diced all those I'm going to pour in 1 cup of water I need 1/3 of a cup of organic extra virgin olive oil I need 1 teaspoon of sea salt all right so at this point we're just going to put it on the blender on the base and we're going to run it for a minute or two depending on how creamy it's getting and I'm going to I'm going to run it on high if it is too thick use your tamper to push down the contents until it's moving smoothly on its own okay so once it's been completely processed you're going to pour it out of your picture into a pan that you have lined with parchment paper now I'd say this is probably I don't know a 13 by 17 pan and it's going to make six rafts now today you can see it's it's a pretty thick consistency probably a little less than a paste and if you think that it is too thick you can add a slight bit amount of water it might have just been that you had some pretty large plantains but it doesn't really seem to affect it much after you bake it and then we're going to spread it out flat this turned out super creamy and nice today and then I've already preheated the oven but you want to preheat the oven to 375 degrees so here's what it looks like once I've got it all completely spread out so you might be wondering what you're going to do with these wraps once you have them and really you can use them for anything that you would use a normal wrap for you should understand though that they're not going to be as thin and as bendy and they're not going to wrap completely around like you would like if you got something as a a store it's going to be more like a bent-over taco shell but what you can do with it is put some meat with some cheese some vegetables maybe make yourself a BLT an avocado in it sometimes I just put some honey and some sunflower seed butter on it just anytime I feel like I might need something kind of bread like so be creative you can do anything you want with it okay so I left that in the oven at 375 for about 28 minutes so when it's done it looks rolled in is soft what you do want to do is while it's still soft take a knife and just score down the center and then go twice across the other direction basically what you're doing is you're making six wraps you just let it cool off and you can use them whenever you want for a wrap I actually you can see what it kind of looks like so when you pull it out kind of hot but you horse won't be if you do it properly so anyway it's going to look something similar to this and then you can just put whatever you want on the inside of it and you know wrap it like a like a taco around it so if you would like to see more recipes like this like this YouTube channel or you can also look for me on WWL health.com if you like to follow me on social media you can check the links out to below and we'll see you on the next round have a great day bye .
