Rice with Plantains |
|
Serves: 4 Print this Recipe(Arroz con Plátano Machos) Category: Rice Dishes Plantains are cooking bananas, a species that are bigger, firmer, and less sweet than bananas, that are grown in Mexico and Central America. Ripe plantains have nearly black skins and give slightly when pressed lightly with your fingers. This is a very common way to serve rice, especially along the Gulf coast of Mexico, and it's among my favorite rice dishes. The rice presentation is a little more elaborate here, but you can simply spoon the rice onto a dish, if you prefer. Basic White Rice 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 large ripe plantain, peeled and cut crosswise, about 1/4 inch thick 1. Preheat the oven to 200°. In a medium bowl, mix the hot cooked rice, parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Pack the rice into a round-bottomed 2-cup capacity bowl, then. Invert the rice onto the center of a large serving plate. Keep warm in the oven. 2. In a medium skillet, heat the butter and oil over medium heat. Cook the plantain rounds until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Arrange the plantain pieces around the rice dome, and serve hot.
