Guineítos en Escabeche
A classic Puerto Rican appetizer or side dish of green bananas (guineos) pickled in a tangy and savory escabeche sauce made with olive oil, vinegar, onions, garlic, and spices. It's a refreshing dish with a unique texture.
🧂 食材
- 10 medium Green bananas(unripe, not plantains)
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 large Yellow onion(sliced)
- 4 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 0.25 cup Pimento-stuffed olives(sliced, optional)

- 1 tsp Whole black peppercorns
- 1 tsp Salt(or to taste)
- 1 tsp Sugar(optional, for a touch of sweetness)
👨🍳 步骤

Peel the green bananas. Cut off the ends, make a shallow slit down the length of the banana, and use a knife or spoon to peel away the skin. Cut the bananas into 1-inch thick rounds.

In a pot, combine the banana pieces with enough water to cover, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and let cool slightly.

While the bananas are cooking, prepare the escabeche sauce. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the minced garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns to the pan. Cook for another minute until the garlic is fragrant.

Stir in the white vinegar, sliced olives (if using), optional sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes.
