The sticky, spicy sauce deliciously offsets the blandness of the starchy vegetables. This is actually made with an unripe plantain.   Gysločiai yra didesni už bananus ir turi būti virti, bet kai pirmą kartą paragavau jų Tanzanijoje, taip man buvo apibūdinta. Aš jį pritaikiau ir pridėjau pupelių baltymams.  It takes a while to cook but it’s a simple one pot dish.
