Bolitas de Platano (Plantain dumplings)

Ingredients

• 1 green plantain
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon sazón

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel your plantain and cut it in half. This is for better handling. Now grate your plantain with a box grater using the smallest holes side. Add your salt and sazón to your plantain dough. Mix until you see a uniform color.

2. 2

   First, put a couple of drops of oil onto your hands to avoid the dough from sticking to your hands. Take 2 scoops of a tablespoon of the dough and shape it into small balls. Freeze for 10 minutes so your dough can firm up

3. 3

   After you take the balls out of your freezer immediately add them to your soup and cook for 15 minutes over high heat. If you are not making a soup you can still cook them. Just take a medium-sized pan over high heat, add water, and boil for 15 minutes or until firm. Serve and enjoy!
