Photo: Plantain Mash with Bacon Recipe
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
Directions
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.

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!

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.
