Plantain Foster Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Make the beef filling: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the onion and green pepper and sauté until softened and translucent, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cilantro and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
• Add the ground beef, breaking up with a spatula to incorporate into the vegetables. Season with the adobo, garlic powder, and black pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink. Drain any excess liquid.
• Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium-low heat, stir in the tomato sauce, and cook until heated through, 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside until ready to use.
• Make the plantains: Trim the ends off of the plantains, then peel.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium-low heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Working in batches if needed, add the plantains and fry, turning every 30 seconds or so, until golden brown on all sides and tender enough to be pierced with a fork, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain until cool enough to handle.
• Transfer the plantains to a cutting board. Cut a slit lengthwise down each plantain, being careful not to cut all the way through. Use 2 forks to gently pull each plantain open. Use a fork, flat-side down, to press the base of the "canoe" to widen. Transfer to a baking dish and season with salt.
• Fill each plantain with ¼-⅓ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, add about ½-¾ cup of the beef filling, then top with ¼-⅓ cup more cheese. Cover the baking dish with foil.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove the foil and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is brown and bubbly. Garnish with torn cilantro.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Spoon 6 tablespoons cream from top of coconut milk and set aside. Pour remaining coconut milk into a large saucepan. Stir in brown sugar, water, molasses, vanilla, salt and pie spice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until reduced by half, 25-30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large cast-iron or other skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add plantains. Cook, stirring gently, until glazed and slightly softened, 3-5 minutes. Divide plantains among 6 bowls; drizzle with syrup. Top with reserved coconut milk cream.

Steps:

• Grate the green plantains into a large mixing bowl.
• Add salt, pepper, and chili powder, and mix to combine.
• Wrap one slice of cheese around a hot dog link and cut into fifths.
• Take one tablespoon of your plantain mixture and encase one slice of the cheese-wrapped hot dog, shaping into a cylindrical "tot."
• Repeat until all slices are covered and shaped, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze one hour.
• In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat your oil to 375ºF (190ºC).
• Drop four to five tots into the oil and fry until golden brown, about one to two minutes.
• Place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
• Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce!
• Enjoy!
