Preparation

40 mins

Low

Cook the plantains in water for 10 minutes or until they become soft. Remove the peel. In a bowl, mash the bananas, add the cornstarch and Rexal® Baking Powder; mix until incorporated and you have a homogeneous dough. With your hands, form cakes, adding cheese cubes in the center. In a skillet over medium heat, fry the cakes on both sides until golden brown. Place on paper towels to remove excess oil. For the pasilla sauce, in a skillet over medium heat, heat the oil, fry the onion, garlic, tomato, pasilla pepper, pour in the orange juice, cumin, and oregano. Blend the previous preparation. In a small pot over medium heat, heat the oil, pour in the sauce, and cook for 10 minutes or until it thickens. On a plate, serve the banana cakes, drizzle with the sauce, and accompany with cream, onion, cheese, and garnish with parsley.
