Step 1

Cut each Plantains (2) in half and place them in a pot with boiling water.

Step 2

Leave to cook for 15 minutes, or until the plantains are very soft.

Step 3

Remove the plantains from the water and leave to cool down without removing the skins.

Step 4

Once they are cool remove the skins and place the flesh in a bowl.

Step 5

Once all the halves have been peeled, rice them with a potato ricer as to create a plantain mash.

Step 6

Start to make each ball making a deep indentation in middle for the filling.

Step 7

I made my balls by mixing the Feta Cheese (to taste) , Ground Beef (to taste) , Canned Black Beans (to taste) , putting 2 types of filling on each ball. But you can also make them with just one filling.

Step 8

Once all the balls are made, pass them through Eggs (to taste) , Breadcrumbs (to taste) .

Step 9

Fry the balls in enough oil until they are golden brown. Serve and enjoy!
