Serve these sweet-savory Guatemalan snacks with sour cream. Ingredients:
6 plantains, peeled and broken into chunks |
1 (16 ounce) can refried black beans |
1 tablespoon splenda® no calorie sweetener, granulated |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 quart oil for frying |
Directions:
1. Place the plantains in water to cover in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, 15 minutes. Drain and mash.
2. In a small saucepan over low heat, heat the refried beans. Stir in the SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener and salt. Remove from heat.
3. To make the rellenitos, form a palm-sized amount of mashed plantains into a ball; flatten and place about a teaspoon of the bean mixture in the middle; then mold the sides of the plantain around the beans, making an egg-shaped ball.
4. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), or until a small amount of batter sizzles and browns in the oil. Fry rellenitos in oil until browned. Drain on paper towels.
