Cereal de Plátano

Peel the green plantains by cutting off both ends and slicing the skin lengthwise, then use a knife or peeler to remove the tough outer layer completely.

Rinse the peeled plantains under cold water and cut them into 1-inch thick rounds.

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a large pot, then add the plantain pieces and salt.

Simmer the plantains uncovered until very soft and almost falling apart, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Mash the cooked plantains in the cooking liquid with a wooden spoon or potato masher until smooth and creamy.

Stir in the sugar or sugar substitute until fully dissolved.

Pour in the milk slowly while stirring constantly to achieve a creamy cereal consistency, adjusting thickness as needed.

Serve the cereal warm in bowls, dividing evenly among four servings.
