2. 2.Add in all the spices and continue to fry another minute.
3. 3.Add in the drained black beans, kale leaves (remove the stems) and lemon juice and let this cook for about 5-10 minutes, stirring every now and then.
4. 4.In the meantime, heat up a frying pan with coconut oil, slice the plantain (or banana!) into thick 1-inch chunks and fry them until golden on either side, about 2-3 minutes on medium heat.
5. 5.Serve the beans on top of rice, garnished with cilantro (coriander) and the plantain on the side.
6. 6.*Note: Confession. My ‘plantains’ were bananas. I know! I tried my local markets but couldn´t find them anywhere (dang it). So I cheated, and I used a terribly underripe banana instead. It worked, kinda, but if you can find plantains, use plantains. It’s a whole lot more savoury and starchy!
