Ingredients
- 1 plantain (green, unripe) halved
- 1 cauliflower head cut into florets, and washed (¾ lb [0.3 Kg]
- 2 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 tablespoon salt (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
Instructions
1. Boiling the plantains
- Boil the plantain over medium heat until it turns fork tender. Add the cauliflower and simmer until it is heated through, but before it is fully cooked (or it will turn mushy). Remove plantain and cauliflower from the water and place in the food processor.
2. Making the puree
- Add butter, and blend until you obtain a smooth mash without any clumps. Season with salt to taste. Pour in the onion powder and mix. Remove from the processor and set aside. Wait 2-3 minutes to serve, the mixture may look thin right out of the processor, but it'll thicken when it's a bit cooler.
3. How to serve
- Fry queso de freír, longaniza, and eggs and serve together. You may also serve with avocado.
