Ingredients
2 medium ripe plantains
left-over black beans
Feta, Cheddar, or Mozzarella
Steps
- Cut each plantain in half and place them in a pot with boiling water (no added salt to the water)
- Leave to cook for 15 minutes, or until the plantains are very soft
- Remove the plantains from the water and leave to cool down without removing the skins.
- Once they are cool remove the skins and place the flesh in a bowl.
- Once all the halves have been peeled rice them with a potato ricer as to create a plantain mash.
- If you feel the mash is very "mushy" you can add a couple of tbsp of flour to stiffen the mash a bit.
- Start to make each ball making a deep indentation in middle for the filling.
- fill with a mixture of beans and cheese.
- Once all the balls are made, pass them through beaten egg and breadcrumbs
- Fry the balls in enough oil until they are golden brown
