Ecuadorian Food: Bolon de Verde

Peel the green plantains and cut them into chunks.

Boil the plantain chunks in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Drain the plantains and let them cool slightly.

Mash the boiled plantains in a large bowl until smooth.

Add cheese, chopped pork cracklings, salt, and pepper to the mashed plantains.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Form the mixture into balls or patties.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Fry the bolones until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm, garnished with cilantro and onion.
