Una Receta Muy Poco Conocida, Machuco De Platano Macho Con Frijoles Aposonque y Queso

queso fresco

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Cottage cheese offers a lower-fat option while maintaining a similar texture.

black beans

🥗Healthier: lentils

💰Cheaper: pinto beans

Pinto beans are often cheaper and can be used interchangeably.

Begin by boiling black beans in water with salt until tender.

Prepare the green plantains by cutting off the ends and slicing them to facilitate boiling.

Boil the plantains in salted water until soft, checking for tenderness.

Once the plantains are soft, remove them from the water and peel them while still warm.

Mash the boiled plantains in a bowl until they form a smooth mixture.

Let the mashed plantains rest for a few minutes to firm up slightly.

Check the black beans for tenderness, then add chopped onion, chile, and pasote to the beans and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

In a heated skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of manteca.

Add the mashed plantains to the skillet and mix well with the manteca, seasoning with salt to taste.

Serve the mashed plantains alongside the black beans, topped with crumbled queso fresco.
