Ingredients

  • 4 green, unripened plantains, peeled and chopped 
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt 
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 large red onions, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt 
  • 1 sliced avocado 
  • 12 eggs 
  • 1 pound queso de freir, panela or plain halloumi cheese, cut into rectangles 
  • 1 pound salami, cut into thin round slices 
  • Oil for frying

Preparation

  1. Add the peeled plantains to a large pot. Fill the water line to sit just  above the plantains, about 2 cups. Turn the heat to high until the  water comes to a boil, then reduce to medium-high heat and continue  to cook for 10-12 minutes or until a knife inserted into a plantain  goes in easily with no resistance. Carefully drain water, then add  butter and salt and mash the plantains with a fork or potato masher.  Place mashed plantains in a serving bowl. 
  2. In a medium sauté pan, add sliced onions and cook over medium low heat until fragrant and slightly translucent, approximately 5  minutes. Add the vinegar and salt, stirring to combine. Remove from  heat and plate with some sliced avocado. 
  3. In a new pan with a little oil, fry the cheese on both sides over  medium-high heat until it’s golden and crispy, approximately 3-5  minutes per side. 
  4. Set aside cheese on a plate or platter. Then, using the same pan,  fry both sides of the sliced salami at medium-high heat until brown  and crispy, approximately 2 minutes per piece. Remove from oil and  rest on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Lower heat of burner to  medium low. 
  5. Set the salami on the same plate with the cheese. Add more oil and  fry 1-2 eggs at a time, sunny side up, until desired doneness. Plate  the eggs with the fried cheese and salami. 
  6. Serve cheese, meat, eggs, avocado, pickled veggies and mashed  plantains family-style. 

RECIPE TIP: 

  • Develop more flavor and pickle the onions in advance. Add leftover  pickled onions on your favorite sandwich.
