Best 7 Stuffed Plantains With Pork And Chipotle Honey Oil Recipes

STUFFED PLANTAINS

Steps:

• Cut plantain into 3 pieces, keeping the peel on.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil and boil plantain until peel starts to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool until easily handled. Peel and mash plantain. Separate into 3 equal-sized golf balls. Place each ball into a piece of plastic wrap and form into a 6-inch round. Place 1 1/2 tablespoon Cheddar cheese into each round, fold over, and pinch edges together.
• Heat oil in a medium size skillet on medium-high heat. Pan-fry stuffed plantains until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip plantains and fry for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

CANOAS (STUFFED SWEET PLANTAINS) 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!

PLANTAIN STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the stuffing cubes in a large bowl and set aside. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the jalapenos, onion, bell pepper and thyme, then sprinkle with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onion and bell pepper are tender, then add the garlic. Cook until the garlic is tender, then remove the vegetables to the bowl with the stuffing cubes.
• Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and place back on the heat. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan. When the butter is melted and bubbling, add the plantains and sprinkle with salt. Saute, while tossing, until the plantains are golden and caramelized on the edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour over the stuffing in the bowl. Add the chicken stock and stir or mix with your hands.
• Pour and press the stuffing into an 8-inch square baking dish, cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until golden, another 20 minutes.

CARIBBEAN STUFFED PORK WITH ORANGE SWEET POTATOES AND PLANTAINS

Steps:

• Cut the pork down the centre making sure not to go all the way through (basically butterflying.) Pound pork with a meat mallet until same thickness all over. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• In a frying pan melt butter, add onions, cook until soft, add herbs, breadcrumbs, rum, chopped mango and salt and pepper to taste, stir to combines.
• Spoon stuffing down on half of pork remembering to leave enough of an edge so when you fold, the other half over, it will cover the stuffing completely.
• Fold the other half of the pork over and secure with kitchen string at 11/2-2 inch intervals. In a lightly oiled roasting pan, place pork and bake in a preheated oven 180°C for about 1 hr (cooking time may be longer if your meat weight is more and I'm not sure if it will be less if you do 2 smaller loins, just check towards the end of cooking time regularly, to see if it is cooked through).
• Baste meat several times during cooking with reserved juice, I even poured a little over the pork when I started, so the pork juices combined with this made for some great juices I could use for sauce later. (don't pour too much though and make sure it is natural juice and not syrup as it will burn and also forms a glaze on the pork because of the high sugar content).
• Mango Sauce:.
• Drain the mango reserving the juice, blend or process mango until smooth, pour into saucepan, leave on a low heat.
• Heat a little olive oil in a pan, add onion and garlic cook until onion is soft and garlic has just started to brown, add to mango, turn up the heat to medium.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until jam has melted and sugar dissolved, that's it easy peasy sauce is done. This can just be left over a very low heat to keep warm. When the pork is cooked just add the 3 Tablespoon of juices and stir to combine. If sauce is not quite hot enough, turn the heat up at this time and heat for a couple of minutes until hot. Serve over pork.
• Orange-Baked Sweet Potatoes:.
• Peel sweet potatoes and chop into pieces (just like you would regular potatoes that you were going to mash.) Place in a pan cover with water and boil until tender then drain.
• While potatoes are cooking, slice the tops off of 4 oranges and scoop out the flesh be careful not to break the shells. Cut the peel from the tops into thin strips to use as garnish later. Squeeze the juice from the pulp (there will be more juice than you need but I squeeze it all and drink the rest, there is nothing like fresh orange juice.) and grate a teaspoon of rind from the fifth orange.
• Mash the sweet potato until smooth (I use a bar mix). Add butter, cream, sugar, rum, orange juice and cinnamon, whisk to combine or bar mix away whatever is easier (Hint: Bar Mix, Bar Mix) Mix in grated rind and season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon mashed potato mixture into the orange shells. Place on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (perfect already at that temp from pork.) Bake for 15-20 minutes, until you have golden brown top. Garnish with the reserved strips of orange peel and serve.
• Plantain Chips:.
• Peel plantains and thinly slice them into rounds.
• Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and fry plantains until crispy and golden.
• Drain on absorbent paper and season with salt.
• Oh so easy and oh so delicious, just remember you need some for dinner, so don't sneak to many while cooking :).
• To Serve: Arrange pork slices on plate pour sauce over the top. Arrange plantain chips and place orange shell on top of them.
• Bon Appetit.

PLANTAIN-STUFFED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Place vegetable oil in a small pot and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees. Add chopped plantains and fry until golden brown, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate; set aside.
• Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add longaniza and cook, stirring, until cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Place pork loin on a cutting board. Cut pork loin lengthwise, stopping about 1 inch from the opposite end. Open pork loin like a book and pound using meat mallet until it is 1/3-inch-thick. Transfer pork loin to a baking dish and cover with brine solution. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes or up to 40 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine fried plantains, longaniza, scallions, and cilantro; toss to combine. Add sweet plantain mash and mix thoroughly. Place half of the plantain mixture in the center of a 12-by-12-inch piece of plastic wrap and roll tightly like a cigar; twist ends to enclose.
• Remove pork loin from brine and place on a parchment-paper-lined cutting board with the long side of the pork loin facing you. Unroll filling and place on the edge closest to you; roll pork loin away from you, like a jelly roll. Using kitchen twine, tie pork loin in 1 1/2-inch intervals to retain its shape. Wrap tenderloin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Coat the bottom of a large ovenproof skillet with olive oil and place over high heat. Unwrap tenderloin and season with salt and pepper. Add to skillet and cook, turning frequently, until well browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and roast for 45 minutes. Add butter, garlic, and oregano to pork loin and continue to roast, basting occasionally, until a thermometer inserted into pork reads 165 degrees, about 2 minutes more.
• Transfer pork loin to a platter and let stand 10 minutes. Remove kitchen twine and cut pork loin crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. Serve with and remaining plantain mixture and sour orange gastrique.

PLANTAIN-STUFFED CHIPOTLES CHILES IN ESCABèCHE

Steps:

• Bring granulated sugar, 3 cups water, and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then reduce heat to simmer. While water is coming to a boil, prepare chiles. Cut a slit from stem to point down 1 side of each chile with kitchen shears. (Some brands of chiles may be precut.) Add chiles to sugar water and simmer 5 minutes, then remove pan from heat and cool chiles in liquid while making escabeche and filling.
• Cook carrot in 1/4 cup oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add allspice, thyme, marjoram, bay leaves, vinegar, piloncillo, 2 1/2 teaspoons garlic, and remaining 3/4 cup water, then bring to a simmer, stirring until piloncillo is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and half of onion.
• Transfer escabeche to a bowl and cool while making filling and stuffing chiles.
• Cut off ends of plantains, then remove and discard peel and cut plantains into 1/2-inch cubes. Cook remaining half of onion in remaining 2 tablespoons oil in cleaned skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown, about 4 minutes. Add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add plantains and cook, stirring occasionally and lightly mashing mixture, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and remove from heat.
• Drain chiles in a colander. Cut off stems with kitchen shears and carefully scrape out all seeds clinging to seedpod and attached to veins with your fingers. Press 1 tablespoon plantain mixture into an egg shape, then stuff into a chile, molding chile around stuffing. (If chile is split in other places, arrange around stuffing and reshape chile.) Transfer chile, slit side down, to a shallow 2-quart glass or ceramic serving dish. Stuff remaining chiles with remaining filling, transferring to serving dish and arranging in 1 layer. Spoon escabeche over chiles and marinate, uncovered, at room temperature 1 hour.
