Plantain Hash and Eggs

What's crazy to me is that we currently have a whole generation of pot smokers that don't know what hash is and have never had the opportunity to smoke it. They have no idea what hot knives are(the original dab rig). 70% of the world's hash consumption is in Europe. When I was in Amsterdam, I only saw dabs at 1 coffee shop of the 16 I visited. Every single one of them had multiple varieties of hash. Our own dispensaries in the legal states don't even offer hash. You can only make 1 product with the weed plants, and that in this country is dabs/wax/shatter/honey oil, whatever the kids are calling it these days, and not hash. It has become a lost artform here in the states.
Today, all the kids want is their dabs and their oil pens. In my personal and professional opinion, these dabs and oil pens are killing people's THC tolerance. When you can't smoke a bowl and get high, that's a problem. Don't get me wrong. I have an oil pen that I really only use if I'm out and about and can't stink up the area with a joint. But that's it. I prefer my bud. I wish there was more of an abundance of hash in the U.S. End of hash rant.
So…this plantain hash is a great way to start your day. Despite this dish being vegan if you don't have any eggs with it, is very heavy, but healthy. If you want some spice with it, add in some cayenne pepper. If you want some meat with this, substitute some sausage instead of the beans. Sage or andouille sausage would work well.
