Fufú de Plátano

Fufú de Plátano is a traditional dish from the Caribbean made with mashed plantains and served with a savory stew.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Peel the plantains and cut them into chunks.
Place the plantain chunks in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the plantains are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the plantains are cooking, heat the cooking oil in a separate pan over medium heat.
Add the garlic, onion, and bell pepper to the pan and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced tomato to the pan and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Once the plantains are tender, drain the water and transfer them to a large bowl.
Mash the plantains with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Gradually add the chicken or beef broth to the mashed plantains, stirring until well combined and the desired consistency is reached.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the fufú de plátano with the sautéed vegetables on top and garnish with fresh cilantro.
