👨🍳 Yapılışı
- 1
If using fish heads and bones, simmer them in 8 cups of water for about 30 minutes to create a flavorful broth. Strain and set aside. If not, use 8 cups of regular water.
- 2
Prepare the refrito: In a large pot, heat the achiote oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add cumin, salt, and pepper.
- 3
Peel and grate 2 of the green plantains. In a bowl, mix the grated plantain with 1/4 cup of peanut butter and a pinch of salt to form a dough. Roll into small balls.
- 4
Add the reserved fish broth (or water) to the pot with the refrito. Bring to a simmer. Add the remaining 1 cup of peanut butter, stirring until dissolved.
- 5
Add the yuca, sweet potato, carrot, corn, green beans, and the remaining 1 green plantain (cut into chunks) to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30-40 minutes.
- 6
Add the plantain balls and the ripe plantain slices to the pot. Cook for another 15-20 minutes, or until the plantain balls float and are cooked through.
- 7
Gently add the fish pieces to the pot. Cook for about 5-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Be careful not to overcook the fish.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a lime wedge.
