Number Of Ingredients 4

8 - very ripe plantains
2-1/2 cup(s) cooked ground beef
- frying oil
1/2 pound(s) grated cheddar or mozarella cheese

Steps:

  • Cook ground beef, season to taste.
  • Peel the plantains carefully to make sure they do not break. You need whole plantains and appearance is quite important in this dish.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. While the oven preheats fry the plantains in enough oil to cover them. Be careful while handling so that plantains do not break.
  • Remove from the oil when golden brown. Soak off excess oil by draining on paper towels.
  • Slit each plantain lengthwise, about an inch from each end, half as deep as the plantain's circumference.
  • Place about two tablespoonfuls of the filling inside the slit in each plantain.
  • Place the plantains side by side in an ovenproof dish. Spread the shredded cheddar or mozarella cheese over the filling. Bake in the oven for around ten minutes. Recipe from: www.elcolmadito.com
