👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp of oil or lard over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 2
Add the cooked black beans to the skillet. Mash some of the beans with the back of a spoon to create a creamier texture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly thickened.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 3
Stir in the cooked white rice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine with the beans. Cook for another 5 minutes until the rice is heated through and the flavors meld.
⏱️ 5 minutes💡 Consigli Professionali: This mixture is your 'pinto'. - 4
While the pinto cooks, heat 3-4 tbsp of vegetable oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced plantains in a single layer and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and caramelized.
⏱️ 8 minutes💡 Consigli Professionali: Use ripe plantains (yellow with black spots) for sweetness. - 5
Remove the fried plantains from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels. Add a little more oil to the skillet if needed, and fry the eggs to your desired doneness (sunny-side up is traditional).
💡 Consigli Professionali: Fry eggs in the same oil as the plantains for extra flavor. - 6
Serve the pinto mixture on plates. Top with a fried egg and arrange the fried plantains alongside. Optionally, drizzle with natilla and sprinkle with crumbled cheese.
💡 Consigli Professionali: The combination of savory pinto, rich egg yolk, and sweet plantain is key.
