Green Plantain Stuffing

This dish is a great alternative for those of you looking for a gluten free vegan stuffing. I adapted this recipe from Cuban Fufu and made it for Thanksgiving. Everyone at dinner was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it tasted and how similar it was to traditional stuffing.  Make it as a side dish for  your holiday dinner and share your thoughts below.

Ingredients:

  • 4 green plantains
  • Coconut oil for sauteing
  • 4 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp dried sage
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • sea salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)

 

Directions:

  1. Peel the green plantains and then cut them into 3/4 inch slices.
  2. Place coconut oil in frying pan along with plantain slices
  3. Cook the slices in the hot oil for 3 -4 minutes. They should be a light golden color and semi-soft.
  4. Remove the plantain slices with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  5. When the plantain slices are cool enough to handle (about 1 minute) put them in a food process and pulse for about 30 seconds. (I blended the plantain in a nutri-bullet with vegetable broth. )
  6. In a saucepan sauté onions and garlic with coconut oil on medium hear until soft
  7. Add plantain, seasoning, and vegetable broth a little at a time until everything is incorporated.
  8. If the stuffing is not moist enough, add more broth until you get the consistency you prefer.
  9. Serve warm as a side and enjoy.
