This was one of my favorite dishes that my mother made when I was growing up. It's basically a stuffed "maduro" ripe (yellow) plantain. It's sweet and meaty and delicious. I have to say that alot of people mistake what is a a pastelon de platanos and this recipe because they basically have the same ingredients..
Ingredients:
- Ripe plantains (yellow) 3 will make about nine to ten piononos.
- Ground meat: beef, pork, turkey
- Meat seasoning: bell pepper, tomato, ajicito/Scott peppers, onion, garlic, Sazon with achiote
- Two eggs beaten and place in a bowl
- Tooth picks
Chop peppers, tomato, ajicitos, onion, garlic and mix into ground meat with Sazon. Brown meat and put aside.
Cut off tips and peel ripe plantain (don't get plantains that are too ripe or they will be too soft) and slice them length wise to yield about three to four lenght long slices. Fry the slices of plantain until brownish on each side.
Place fryed plantain strips on a large plate and place browned meat on the plantain and wrap plantain around meat letting plantain overlap a little and hold together with tooth pick.
Carefully dip both ends of pionono into beaten egg and fry each side of pionono in vegetable oil until eggs are cooked.
Serve and enjoy
Buen Provecho...
