as other users noted you need plantains that much more ripe than the recipe notes, being a newyorican :P I do agree you have to know your plantains. Pretty good on the beef mixture though, will make again.
This is a Puertorrican Dish , not Cuban!

For a recipe with this much prep, the end result is rather tasteless, dry and unimpressive. The meat mixture is tasty but it's offset by too many bland, starchy plantains. One person who ate it in my kitchen commented "it's just too hard to eat." Not the kind of comment a cook wants to hear.....

You need to know your Plantains in order to make this. You need to choose brown to almost black plantains so they taste kind of sweet. I grew up in Puerto Rico also and this is great! I made this for my husband and he LOVES THIS. But, I'm from the North part of Puerto Rico and we call them Pastelon.

I wasn't aware that this dish was Cuban. I grew up in Puerto Rico and we are proud to call it our own... In reading this recipe I see that it calls for yellow plaintains with some brown spots. In order for this dish to be delicious, and it is, it calls for very ripe plaintains and that means brown to black color and very soft to the touch. It is then that the sweet of the plaintains and the salty, savory taste of the meat will combine to make a fantastic dish that is sure to entice your senses and leave you wanting seconds and thirds!

We used to eat a variation of this dish in the Philippines. Ingredients were the same for the meat, but we would present the meat surrounding a bed of white rice (molded in a shallow bowl and turned over) with a fried egg on top of the rice, and the plantains around it. It was always a family hit.

Not horrible but the plaintains need to be riper. By the way - I am Cuban and this is NOT a "Cuban" dish. I have family that live in Puerto Rico and as far as I know it is a PR dish and delicious! Try it with riper plaintains (black and soft) - you won't be disappointed!
