Plátanos Asados con Membrillo y Queso

To end our post-Christmas feast - of Columbian eats - I decided to make stuffed plantains.

Funny story: when I read the recipe - Plátanos Asados con Bocadillo y Queso - I misinterpreted 'bocadillo' as 'membrillo.' Eh...guava, quince. Whoops.

Maybe I was swayed by the stack of fresh quince at the market. I swooped in, grabbed a handful, and made Homemade Membrillo. Then I realized that I cooked the wrong fruit. Oh, well. I had no time to track down any guava. And this worked just as well.

Ingredients makes 12 by cutting each plantain into thirds

4 ripe plantains
1 T melted butter
queso fresco, cut into slices thin enough to stuff into your plantain
Homemade Membrillo, for serving

Procedures

Preheat the oven to 400° F. Slice the plantains lengthwise, cutting through the skin and approximately 3/4 of the way through the fruit. You want the bottom of the boat intact. Gently part the plantain and stuff slices of cheese into the gap. Place the plantains in a rimmed baking dish.

Brush the stuffed plantains with melted butter. Cover with foil. Bake for 40 minutes.

To serve: cut into serving sized pieces (I got three out of one plantain) and spoon the membrillo over the top.

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless.
