Elaboraci贸n / Elaboration:
Tom茅 el pl谩tano verde retir茅 sus puntas y con un cuchillo realice tres secciones solo atravesando la piel del pl谩tano y fu铆 retirando cada secci贸n o tira con el cuchillo, una vez retirada la piel corte el pl谩tano en 4 pedazos.
I took the green plantain and removed its tips and with a knife I made three sections just going through the skin of the plantain and I removed each section or strip with the knife, once the skin was removed I cut the plantain in 4 pieces.
Una vez que estuvieron sin piel y cortados los pl谩tanos llev茅 a una olla con agua hasta cubrirlos a帽ad铆 una cucharadita de sal y pre-cocine durante 20 minutos, luego retir茅 del fuego, vac铆e el agua y dej茅 enfriar durante unos minutos.
Once the plantains were skinned and cut, I took them to a pot with water to cover them, added a teaspoon of salt and pre-cooked for 20 minutes, then removed from the heat, drained the water and let them cool for a few minutes.
Mientras se enfriaban los trozos de pl谩tano prepar茅 el relleno para el cu谩l cort茅 los vegetales finamente llev茅 a sofre铆r con aceite caliente durante un par de minutos agregu茅 la carne, sazone con sal, adobo y curry mezcle todo y cocine durante 5 minutos.
While the plantain pieces were cooling, I prepared the stuffing for which I finely chopped the vegetables and fried them in hot oil for a couple of minutes, added the meat, seasoned with salt, adobo and curry, mixed everything together and cooked for 5 minutes.
Luego pase a realizar los coquitos sobre la parte interna del exprimidor de lim贸n coloque la bolsa pl谩stica, coloque un trozo de pl谩tano cubr铆 con otra parte de la bolsa, aplaste hasta obtener la forma de una canasta muy similar a la de las tartaletas y as铆 queda nuestro coquito.
Then proceed to make the coquitos on the inside of the lemon squeezer place the plastic bag, place a piece of banana covered with another part of the bag, crush until you get the shape of a basket very similar to that of the tartlets and so is our coquito.
Realice coquitos hasta que se terminaron los trozos de pl谩tano y rellene cada uno con carne desmechada.
Make coquitos until the plantain pieces are finished and fill each one with shredded meat.
Llev茅 al horno a 180C掳 durante 30 minutos porque estaban pre-cocidos para que se pusieran m谩s crujientes tambi茅n suelen freirse con abundante aceite despu茅s de aplastarse pero yo decid铆 cocinarlos al horno.
I baked them in the oven at 180C掳 for 30 minutes because they were pre-cooked to make them crispier. They are also usually fried with plenty of oil after being flattened but I decided to bake them in the oven.
Serv铆 en un plato y toda la familia disfrut贸 de esta deliciosa receta que prepare para acompa帽ar el almuerzo el d铆a de ayer, espero les encante y lo cocinen en casita para sorprender o celebrar a alguna persona especial.
