- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Cut boiled plantains in half crosswise and then half length wise -- as shown in pic
- Scoop out the middle --being careful to leave each piece somewhat like a shell
- In a bowl mix the scooped flesh(you can chop it in smaller pieces) , thyme, breadcrumbs and cheese -- adding salt and pepper to taste
- Mix and keep pressing the mixture with the back of a spoon until it comes together
- Fill each shell with some mixture and place on a baking tray--drizzle over with melted butter
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes
- You can stuff plaintains with shredded meat --you can use any melting cheese -- you can also mix orange juice with the butter and add cinnamon
