Ingredients
  • 3 unit green plaintainspeeled, cut in thick, round slices
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat (2 percent) milk
  • 3large cloves garlic
  • Olive oil
Instructions
  1. Soak plantains in salted water for 30–60 minutes; drain. In a heavy saucepan, arrange plantains and add milk, plus just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until tender, 15–20 minutes. Drain, reserving liquid.
  2. Mince garlic in a large food processor (or mortar). While still warm, add plantains and pulse (or mash) with a little olive oil, adding reserved liquid as needed, until plantains are soft and mashed; they will somewhat harden after a few minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Form into six thick patties and serve warm, topped with Escabeche or Mojito Fish.
