Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
- Cut off both ends of each plantain, then remove and discard the peels. Place the plantains on the baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray. Bake the plantains for 15 minutes, then turn them over and bake until the plantains are lightly golden brown and tender, an additional 15 minutes. Allow to rest at room temperature.
- Meanwhile, clip a deep-frying thermometer onto a large, heavy-bottomed skillet. Heat 1 1/2 inches (about 2 1/2 cups) vegetable oil to 375 degrees F.
- Fry the plantains in batches until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to cool.
- Heat the remaining 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or stock pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions, bell pepper and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste, then stir and cook another 2 minutes. Add the ground beef, olives, poblano chile and some salt and cook, breaking up the meat, until the meat is entirely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes with the reserved juices, cumin, paprika, garlic powder and some salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Fold in half the Cotija, then stir to melt and set aside.
- Cut a slit in each of the plantains running the long way. Divide the picadillo chili among the plantains. Sprinkle the tops with remaining Cotija. Garnish with the cilantro and serve.
PASTELóN
Pastelón is a layered Puerto Rican casserole of plantains, cheese and picadillo, a tomato-based ground beef mixture seasoned with onions, peppers, herbs and spices. The dish is often referred to as Puerto Rican lasagna, and to say there is only one real recipe for pastelón would be like saying there's only one true lasagna. Variations abound! Some cooks boil the plantains and make a mash with taro; others fry them until they're sweet and crisp. Nearly any mild, meltable cheese may be used, though there is debate over whether or not to add raisins. This recipe is adapted from from Natalia Vallejo, chef and owner of Cocina al Fondo in Santurce, Puerto Rico. She doesn't serve pastelón at her restaurant, but she grew up eating it. Her version includes fried plantains, mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and raisins, because she says "Puerto Ricans like that sweet-and-salty mix."

Steps:
- Prepare the plantains: Line a sheet pan with paper towels; set aside. Cut off the ends of each plantain. With the tip of a knife, score plantains lengthwise and peel off the skin. Using a serrated knife or chef's knife, cut each plantain in half lengthwise, and then halve again lengthwise so you end up with 24 long slices. (If some of the slices break or are unevenly shaped, that's OK! Carry on.)
- In a large cast-iron or heavy skillet, heat 1 cup oil over medium-high to between 350 and 375 degrees. Working with 4 to 6 slices at a time, depending on what fits, fry plantains until deep golden brown, turning halfway through, about 6 minutes total. Transfer fried plantains to the prepared sheet pan and cook remaining plantains; set aside. (Let oil cool, then strain and reserve for another use.)
- Prepare the sofrito: Put onion, bell pepper, ají dulce chiles (if using), garlic, cilantro and culantro (if using), in a food processor; blend until it becomes a rough, wet purée. (You should have about 1 cup sofrito).
- Prepare the picadillo: In a large, heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium until it shimmers. Add the sofrito and cook, stirring often, until purée thickens and starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the beef and stir in the salt, pepper, cumin, paprika and oregano. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is evenly cooked and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Turn off heat. Push meat mixture to one side, and carefully tilt skillet so that the fat from the meat collects at the bottom of the tilted pan; spoon off and discard as much of this excess fat as you can.
- Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the chopped tomatoes, wine and tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes fall apart and the liquid starts to reduce, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in olives and raisins, if using. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Picadillo can be made up to 2 days in advance. Rewarm it in a pan on the stove before proceeding with recipe.)
- Prepare the pastelón: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with butter. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and set aside.
- Lay half the fried plantain slices along the bottom of the baking dish crosswise, piecing any broken pieces together to form an even layer. (If there are small gaps in the plantain layer, this is OK.) Top with half the picadillo (about 2 cups), smoothing it into an even layer, then sprinkle half the cheese on top in an even layer. Repeat with another layer of plantains then the remaining picadillo. Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the picadillo layer and spread it so it settles down into the pastelón. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake the pastelón until the egg is cooked, the cheese is melted and the layers are set, 20 to 30 minutes. Cut into squares and serve hot.

SWEET PLANTAIN PIE
'Piononos' are a Puerto Rican dish that have sweet ripe plantains wrapped around a ground meat filling, then breaded and fried. This fills my craving for them even though it is layered and baked. I served this with basic Puerto Rican white rice and a garden salad with avocado. The meat filling can be made in bulk and frozen in batches for future use. Delicious!

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a baking dish.
- Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the ground pork and cooked ham in the hot oil until the pork is completely cooked and no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of the drippings in the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Place the skillet over the heat and add the sofrito; cook and stir the sofrito for 5 minutes. Add the olives, capers, salt, garlic powder, oregano, and tomato sauce to the sofrito; cook and stir another 5 minutes. Return the ground pork and ham to the skillet and stir; simmer for 15 minutes, stirring a few times while it cooks.
- Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Rinse the plantains and cut off their tips, leaving the skin on; cut each plantain into 2 to 3 segments each about 3 inches long. Cook the plantains in the boiling water until tender, about 15 minutes; drain and peel. Put the peeled plantains in a mixing bowl and mash with a potato masher. Add the softened butter and sugar; mix.
- Spread about half of the plantain mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer the meat mixture over the plantains. Top with the remaining plantain mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Brush the top with the melted butter and continue baking until the top is browned, about 10 minutes more. Remove from oven and allow to rest 10 to 15 minutes before slicing to serve.

- Plantain Fufu. This unusual dish is made using blended and cooked green plantains. It doesn’t have a whole lot of flavor and is usually served alongside a soup or stew, such as obe ata.
- Easy and Delicious Plantain Bread. This recipe certainly looks like your average banana bread recipe, but it won’t taste quite the same. Though you’ll use many of the same ingredients and the same method, plantains are not as sweet as bananas, so your bread with have a more mellow flavor in the end.
- Spicy Plantain Black Bean Tacos. I think these tacos might be my favorite on this list. Trying to find new and exciting meatless Monday meals has been tough recently, but this recipe has given me my groove back!
- Crispy Salted Tostones. Tostones are crispy, flattened plantain chips that are eaten all over the Caribbean and Latin America. Since they’re salted, you’ll need green, unripe plantains rather than the sweeter yellow kind.
- Caribbean Plantain & Avocado Salad. This great little dish makes such a nice change to the standard, fatty potato salads we see at every BBQ, all summer long!
- Crazy Easy Pan-Fried Plantain Pattie. These plantain patties are a terrific gluten-free option to serve alongside your morning eggs or with some juicy pork tenderloin.
- Empanadas de Plátano Maduro (Ripe Plantain Empanadas with Cheese) Empanadas are typically made with a pie-like pastry. This twist on the classic adds plantains to the mix for added flavor and nutrients.
- Sweet Plantain Gnocchi with Garlic Brown Butter. Plantains are very similar to potatoes, so it makes sense you could use them to make gnocchi. The dough is a quick mix of mashed and cooked plantains with ricotta, salt, pepper, and flour.
- 3-Ingredient Plantain Tortillas. I have to admit that I don’t always love corn tortillas. They can be a touch dry for my liking, which is why I almost always stick to flour.
- Mashed Plantains—Sweet & Savory. So, these aren’t the same as mashed potatoes. They’re not creamy and smooth, but rather chunky and funky. I love the texture, but if you’re looking for a velvety smooth mashed potato substitute, you’ll need to work at your plantains for a little longer and add in some cream to help get the right texture.

- Cook the plantains. Leaving the peels on, slice each plantain in half, horizontally, and place them in a pot with just enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook until the plantains are tender (you can check with a fork -- the fork should slide in and out easily when they're done), usually about 15 minutes, depending on their ripeness. Remove them from the water and once they're cool enough to touch, peel them. Place them in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Cook the steak. Coat the bottom of a large sauté pan with olive oil and sprinkle both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. (A cast iron skillet is best.) Place the pan over high heat and once it's very hot, add the meat. You should hear a sizzling sound -- if you don't, the pan isn't hot enough yet. Wait until it is. Sear both sides of the meat to brown it, then turn the heat to medium-low to finish the cooking, about 15 minutes for medium. Once the meat is cool enough to touch, shred it with your hands, and then chop it finely. Set aside. You can do this the night before you're serving if desired, keeping it covered in the refrigerator. Either way, do not wash the pan! If it's the night before, just cover the pan with foil.
