Recipe Description

Originally known for its rich flavors centered around green plantains and cheese or meat, this vegan version maintains the authentic taste profile using a mix of mushrooms and spices to mimic the savory depth. The dish serves not only as a testament to the versatility of vegan cooking but also pays homage to its South American roots, offering a beautiful blend of cultural tradition and modern dietary preferences. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a unique side dish, this recipe combines mashed green plantains with a sautéed mushroom mixture, culminating in a crispy exterior with a soft, flavorful interior. Enjoy a journey through Ecuador’s culinary landscape, all while adhering to a vegan lifestyle.

Ingredients

  • 4 green plantains, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  1. Boil plantain chunks until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, garlic, coriander, and smoked paprika. Cook until mushrooms are soft and browned.
  3. Fold the mushroom mixture into the mashed plantains until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
