Guest guest Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Wondering how to cook those strange huge " bananas " you see in Latin supermarkets? Here is the vegetarian version of a delicious tropical plantain " lasagna " that is typical in Puerto Rico: 3 large ripe plantains 1 can (20 ounce) crumbled Cedar Lake Vegeburger (or equivalent) ½ cup finely chopped onion ½ cup finely chopped green pepper ½ cup finely chopped cilantro 6 cloves mashed garlic ¼ cup olive oil 2-3 teaspoons herbs to taste (oregano, etc) ½ cup tomato sauce or ketchup (1 cup cheese optional) Cut plantains into 3-4 pieces each and boil them with the skins on until soft. Drain, peel and mash. Saute onion, green pepper, cilantro, garlic, and herbs in olive oil until cooked, then add crumbled vegeburger and mix well. Layer half the mashed plantain in the bottom of a rectangular lasagna pan, then cover with the vegeburger mix. Top with another layer of mashed plantain, then add some tomato sauce or ketchup. Can be topped with cheese too. Bake 25 minutes at 350F, then slice and enjoy!!! Buen provecho!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
