Bollitos de Plátano Verde - Puerto Rico traditional dish

🧂 재료

3 medium Green plantains(peeled)
1 tbsp Olive oil or vegetable oil
0.5 tsp Salt(or to taste)
0.25 tsp Black pepper(or to taste)
0.5 tsp Optional: Sazon seasoning with achiote(for color and flavor)
1 tbsp Optional: Finely chopped onion or garlic

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Peel the green plantains and grate them using the fine side of a box grater or a food processor.
2
In a bowl, combine the grated plantain with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional sazon seasoning and chopped onion/garlic. Mix well until a cohesive dough forms. If the mixture seems too dry, add a tiny bit more oil or a tablespoon of water.
3
Lightly grease your hands with oil. Take small portions of the dough and roll them into bite-sized balls or small logs (about 1 inch in diameter).
4
If adding a filling, flatten a portion of the dough, place a small amount of seasoned ground meat or cheese in the center, and carefully enclose it with the dough, forming a ball.
5
These bollitos are typically added directly to a simmering soup or stew (like Sancocho) during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking. They will float to the top when cooked through.
6
Alternatively, they can be boiled in lightly salted water for about 8-10 minutes until they float and are cooked through. Drain before serving.

💡 전문가 팁

✓Ensure the plantains are green; ripe plantains will result in a sweet dough, not suitable for bollitos.
✓Don't overwork the dough, as it can make the bollitos tough.
✓If adding to soup, make sure the soup is simmering gently to prevent the bollitos from breaking apart.
