Venezuelan Sweet Fried Plantain Bake With Spanish Chorizo

Slice the Spanish Chorizo (2 oz) in strips, you can also use spicy or smoked chorizo if you like.

Once the chorizo is chopped add it to a hot pan with no fat and let it crisp up, this should take about 5 minutes. Once done put it on kitchen paper to absorb the extra fat.

With your fingers butter a baking tray to avoid sticking and start to form the layers placing one layer of fried Plantains (3) then a layer of chorizo and a layer of the Feta Cheese (2/3 cup). Add a tsp of Muscovado Sugar (1 1/3 Tbsp) in between each layer, this with the melted cheese will make a cheesy sweet syrup.

Repeat the steps until you’ve reached the top of the tray. For the last layer I like to put the chorizo in between 2 layers of cheese so when baked it goes black and ultra crispy.

Once baked the top of the dish should have melted crispy cheese, if not you can put it a few minutes under the grill.
