Yield Serves 4 to 6 as a first course or side dish

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 large ripe (heavily spotted yellow to brown) plantains
about 1/2 cup olive or vegetable oil for sautéing
2 to 3 cups cold cooked Cuban black beans
1 cup finely grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Cut ends from plantains and peel fruit. Cut each plantain lengthwise into 4 slices. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté slices in batches, without crowding, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes on each side (use 2 spatulas to turn slices). With a spatula transfer plantains as sautéed to brown paper to drain. When plantains are cool enough to handle, shape each slice into a ring, with ends overlapping by about 1 inch, and secure ends with a wooden pick. Arrange rings, without touching, in a large baking dish and fill centers with black beans.
  • Bake rolls in middle of oven until beans are heated through, about 10 minutes. Mound Monterey Jack on top of beans and bake until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.

I'm not a huge fan of sweets, but these piononos were surprisingly good. The cake was light and airy and the frosting was not too sweet. I would definitely make these again.

I tried this recipe and they were absolutely delicious! The sweet, fluffy sponge cake and the rich, creamy vanilla frosting were the perfect combination. I would definitely make these again.
