Pastelon de platano y carne (Sweet plaintain and meat pie) step by step
- Cut plaintain ends and into thirds. Boil in salted water with skin until fork tender..

- The plaintains should be ready when the skin starts to separate from the plaintain. Remove skin and mash with butter,milk and cheese..
- Place 1/2 of plaintain mix on bottom of pan and spread evenly, Add all of the meat mix( I use a strainer to drain any oils from meat before dropping into pan). Pour remaining plaintain mix and spread evenly. Sprinkle any type of cheese as desired on top of pastelon. (I use fresh grated parm).
