directions

  • Heat the oil for frying to 375 degrees.
  • While the oil is heating up, peel the green plantains and then cut them into 3/4 inch slices.
  • Fry the slices in the hot oil for 3 minutes. They should be a light golden color and semi-soft.
  • Remove the plantain slices with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • Tip: Maintain the oil’s temperature.
  • When the plantain slices are cool enough to handle (about 1 minute), smash them into flat rounds.
  • Fry the rounds in the hot oil for 3 minutes. They will turn crisp and golden brown.
  • Remove the slices with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • In a mortar and pestle, mash together the bacon, garlic, peppers, onion and olive oil a little at a time until everything is incorporated.
  • Add the broth. If the stuffing is not moist enough, add more broth until you get the consistency you prefer.
  • Serve the stuffing as it is or stuff your turkey and follow cooking instructions on the turkey package.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<P>I was born in Glendale, California but I currently reside in Athens, AL. The military brought me to Alabama in 1989 and I just never left! Although quite different from California, I have come to love the more laid back lifestyle the South has to offer. My husband, who is Puerto Rican, and I were married in May 2006. He is retired from the Army (24 years) and now works for TASC Inc. while I am a stay at home mom. this is a new lifestyle for me as I worked for 23 years before having a baby on Dec 20, 2008. She was born two months premature and while she was in the hospital I decided I wanted to be with her and so I stopped working. <BR><BR>My husband and I both love cooking (probably him moreso than I) in our spare time. We purchased a home in 2006, and I think the main reason we bought the home is because of the beautiful kitchen...which is where we spend most of our time. <BR><BR>We like to try new recipes and Recipezaar has made this easy for us. When we first met he moved to Alaska, and to bridge the distance we would cook (him in Alaska and me in Alabama) the exact same recipe from zaar while on the phone or web cam together. When we had more time we tried at least one new recipe a week. We are slowly but surely getting back to that tradition. Cooking together has become challenging with a 13 month old. One of us plays with her while the other cooking. <BR><BR>I also enjoy collecting cookbooks and now I am addicted to Food Network. I love Giada and Ina the most...My husband thinks Ina is too boring, but her dishes always sound so amazing. <BR><BR><BR><IMG src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg mce_src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg> <BR><IMG border=0 alt=Photobucket src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg mce_src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg></P>
