DesFIP -> Plantains (7/12/2010 6:55:26 PM)
|
Since we've had the banana discussion, I thought it only fair to discuss their near relative the plantain.
Anyone else a plantain lover? How do you use them?
I just make tostadas. Because I'm lazy. If I want plantain chips I buy them.
But a great thing to do if you have a deep fryer is to make empanadas de verde. Boil peeled green plantains until tender, then mash. Roll out between sheets of heavy plastic wrap or in a zip lock bag. Cut a circle, fill with queso blanco or a seasoned cooked ground beef mixture, fold the other half of the circle on top, seal and fry till crispy.
Tons of work and hellishly caloric but the best.
