Ingredients
- 1 onion, minced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 6 to 8 slices bacon, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 4 to 5 ripe plantains, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the onion, garlic and bacon. Cook until the bacon is crisp, about 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in the stock and 1 cup of the heavy cream. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the plantains. Simmer the mixture until the plantains are tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of heavy cream and the salt and pepper. Mash together until well combined. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
- *Cook’s Note: Add a little more stock if the mash is too dry.

Can this recipe be made ahead and frozen?
This was a delicious side dish to a Cuban entree I made instead of rice. My only suggestion is to be sure you chop the plantains fairly well as they take awhile to cook. Otherwise the liquid absorbs too rapidly. This was a hit in my house & definitely a keeper. Thanks Aaron!
Follow the directions and you get a wonderful alternative for potatoes or rice.
thanks for this wonderful dish which reminds me of a puerto rican dish I usedto make . I no longer eat pork however I was able to replace the pork bacon with beef bacon. As soon as I seen it I went and made this dish.
Plantains are actually very similar to a banana, except they are less sweeter and I wouldn’t suggest you eating it raw. you should definitely cook it. The ripe plantains are same as ripe bananas. … You can eat anything raw (and people do). But traditionally plantains are cooked b/c they’re plain not that sweet. If you want…
I think the combination of ingredients fits very well only if the dish is bake to perfection.
So why dont you give it a try.And be creative about it.Do you know what I mean like a casserole recipe and why not some nice melted cheese.
bake this dish Well I guest this is it
and like I always say keep on cooking. ha ha ha
