Bolon de Verde
Ecuadorian fried green plantain ball stuffed with cheese — a breakfast staple of coastal Ecuador. Mashing the plantains while they're still hot lets them form a smooth, pliable dough instead of a lumpy, stiff one.
Ingredients
Instructions
Mash hot plantains with butter and salt until smooth.
Take a ball of mash, press flat, place cheese inside, seal and re-roll into a ball.
Pan-fry in oil or lard over medium heat, turning, until golden on all sides.
Serve immediately.
Often served alongside a fried egg for breakfast.
