Desserts always tend to be the tedious part of the meal and perhaps the hardest as well. This weeks Produce Possibilities features two very simple Mexican recipes that should complete a meal without wasting too much time on measurements. The first recipe is plantain chips dipped in Cajeta, (with Cajeta being the least known in comparison with sweetened condensed milk and Nutella.) Plantains contain a lower sugar content than bananas, and are less frequently used because unlike a banana, they need to be cooked. This recipe should prove why the extra hassle of cooking is worth the wait.
The second recipe is called Good Night Dessert, and is usually made during the holidays because of its dark rich red color as well as the beets being a winter crop in Mexico. Beets show up rarely in desserts, and this recipe shows off their richness and sweetness.
