While not nearly as sweet as bananas, plantains do have a sweet flavor. In this soup we keep that sweetness at bay by using firm plantains with green skins rather than riper brown-skinned ones--the sugars will have not yet developed, so the fruit will add starchy body to the soup without too much sweetness.
Savory, juicy pork, peas and stuffing all topped with a silky sauce, and it's not even anyone's birthday. This super-easy, delicious weeknight idea comes together in no time.
