Ingredients and peparation
Dominican pastelón de plátano maduro is a generous-size layered dish consisting of staple Latin Caribbean foods such as yellow plantains, garlic, onions, cheese, butter and meat. Some regions add other ingredients such as wine, nutmeg and raisins, to intensify the sweetness, or eggplant for texture. Dominican pastelón is known as Dominican lasagne. The plantains are the main layer of the pastelón and are lately fried then baked. Onions, tomatoes, bell peppers and garlic are diced, cooked in olive oil with olives, capers, thyme, bay leaves, white pepper and ground meat. Mozzarella, ricotta are cooked in a bechamel sauce. The sauce is then mixed with the ground meat and beaten eggs to hold the meat in place. Meat is then layered on the fried plantains then baked. When done, pastelón is garnished with parsley and Parmesan cheese.
