👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Prepare the fish filling: In a skillet, heat the annatto oil. Sauté the chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, and tomato until softened. Add the flaked fish, cilantro, salt, cumin, and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until well combined. Set aside half of this mixture for the dough.
2
Prepare the plantain dough: Peel and grate the green plantains. In a bowl, combine the grated plantain with the reserved sauté mixture, ground peanuts, and a pinch of salt. Knead until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water or oil.
3
Form the corviches: Take a portion of the dough and flatten it in your palm. Place about a tablespoon of the fish filling in the center. Carefully enclose the filling with the dough, shaping it into an oval or elongated ball. Ensure there are no cracks.
4
Fry the corviches: Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat. Carefully place the corviches in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5
Drain and serve: Remove the corviches from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Serve hot with aji sauce or pickled onion (curtido).
