An unusual combination of sweet fruit and salty cheese, this dessert is similar to a traditional Colombian snack. Chef Dario picks up guava paste at ethnic grocers like Dino’s Grocery Mart, 460 Notre Dame Ave.
Ingredients
2 ripened plantains, peeled and sliced lengthwise
1 cup provolone cheese, thinly sliced
1 can guava paste
oil for frying
Method
- Preheat oven to 425˚F.
- In a frying pan, cook plantains in oil until flesh turns golden and becomes pliable. Drain on paper towels.
- Place plantains on a baking sheet. Top with cheese slices and roll.
- Spoon guava paste on top of rolls and bake until cheese melts.
