👨🍳 Instrukcje
- 1
For the filling: Heat 1 tbsp of achiote oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped red onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- 2
Add the cubed pork shoulder to the pan. Season with cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Stir in chopped cilantro.
- 3
For the dough: Peel the green plantains and cut them into chunks. Boil them in salted water until very tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain well.
- 4
Mash the boiled plantains until smooth, incorporating the remaining 2 tbsp of achiote oil and salt to taste. The dough should be pliable but not sticky.
- 5
To assemble: Place a softened achira leaf on a flat surface. Spoon a portion of the plantain dough onto the leaf and flatten it into a disc.
- 6
Place a spoonful of the pork filling in the center of the dough disc. Fold the achira leaf to enclose the filling, creating a neat parcel. You can tie it with kitchen twine if needed.
- 7
Steam the bollos in a steamer basket over boiling water for 30-40 minutes, or until the dough is firm and cooked through.
- 8
Serve the bollos hot, unwrapped from the achira leaves.
