    Leaving out the most important part of the recipe so that other people have to dig through some random Instagram account because you couldn’t be bothered is lame as hell.

    *Seriously? This isn’t even the full recipe. Hello, it’s fucking jerk tofu WITHOUT INCLUDING THE JERK. Defend it all you want, but it’s bullshit.

    I’m sick of seeing people making me watch them enjoy their food before they show me how to make it

    Using a citrus squeezer is a dough press or whatever you’d call that is a brilliant move. I don’t cook with plantains much, but even without that it’s a technique worth remembering.

    I can’t believe I’m 30 years old and I still haven’t tried Jerk *anything*. I know I would like it. The cups are genius. I love plantain anything.

    So they’re Plantain cups, I always wondered. I had them once in Puerto Rico with crab in it and it was one of the best appetizers I’ve ever had. I will definitely try this recipe.

    If you didn’t want tofu what meat could you use to replace it?
