Plantainwich?, Tostonwich?, Testing Testing…It will be Gluten Free!

In Latin countries they use plantains all the time.  Green or ripe?  The recipes are different.  It is comfort food.

I bought a few green plantains a couple of days ago and I decided to just try to make a sandwich.  The ingredients I wanted to incorporate were like the ones used in a Cuban sandwich.

I don’t have the recipe written yet.  I am still debating what else to add to it.

These are the pictures.  It was made with fried green plantains, smashed and then refried.  A little mayo, thin pork, fried onions, mushrooms and jalapenos, sweet pickles, and thinly sliced cheese.

I keep thinking that a slice of ham might add an extra flavor.

As soon as I have it in a recipe form….I will be back.
