👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 1

   Peel the green plantains and cut them into large chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

2. 2

   Drain the plantains well and place them in a bowl. Mash them thoroughly with a fork or masher, adding the butter and salt. You can add a little of the cooking water if needed to achieve a smooth, dough-like consistency.

3. 3

   Take a portion of the mashed plantain dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a tablespoon of crumbled queso fresco in the center.

4. 4

   Carefully enclose the cheese with the plantain dough, forming a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and cheese.

5. 5

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Carefully place the plantain balls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

6. 6

   Fry the balls until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, turning them occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

7. 7

   Remove the fried balls with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
