The "Plátano Macho": Mexican Culinary Treasure in Oaxaca Barcelona
Discover the Magic of a Versatile and Delicious Fruit that Awakens the Senses with Every Bite
The “plátano macho,” revered in Mexico for its versatility and unmatched flavor, is much more than just a simple fruit. It is a fundamental pillar in Mexican gastronomy, appreciated both for its exquisite taste and its numerous nutritional properties.
However, it’s important to note that in Spain, the term “plátano macho” refers to plantains of varieties that are typically consumed cooked, as they have a significantly lower sugar content than the traditional Canarian bananas we are accustomed to seeing. Additionally, their texture is different, being firmer and more floury.
At Oaxaca Barcelona, we recognize the incomparable value of the “plátano macho” and celebrate it in a dessert dedicated to it. We grill it carefully and diligently until it’s blackened on the outside and the banana splits open over the coals, enhancing its natural sweetness and creating a unique sensory experience. We serve it with vanilla ice cream and condensed milk among other complementary ingredients, resulting in our unique dish.
While the recipe itself is exquisite, it’s the “plátano macho” that steals the spotlight, with its deep flavor and delicate texture, offering a gastronomic experience that is both a tribute to the culinary richness of Mexico and a pleasure for the senses.
Come and discover the magic of the “plátano macho” at Sagardi Oaxaca Barcelona, where every bite is a tribute to this Mexican culinary treasure. We await you to share this unforgettable experience with you!
