Ingredients | How To Cook Plantains On The Grill

1 ripe plantain

4 ½ tablespoons shredded mild Cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Cut plantain into 3 pieces, keeping the peel on.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and boil plantain until peel starts to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool until easily handled. Peel and mash plantain. Separate into 3 equal-sized golf balls. Place each ball into a piece of plastic wrap and form into a 6-inch round. Place 1 1/2 tablespoon Cheddar cheese into each round, fold over, and pinch edges together.

Heat oil in a medium size skillet on medium-high heat. Pan-fry stuffed plantains until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip plantains and fry for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Any mild cheese, white or yellow, can be used
