طريقة التحضير
خطوة بخطوة
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
حوالي 10 د
ملاحظة الطاهي: Allow the oven to fully preheat for even baking.
- 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
حوالي 2 د
ملاحظة الطاهي: Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding plantains to prevent them from becoming greasy.
- 3
Fry the plantain slices in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
حوالي 15 د
ملاحظة الطاهي: Do not overcrowd the pan; this helps the plantains fry evenly and get crispy.
- 4
In a separate large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon.
حوالي 8 د
ملاحظة الطاهي: Drain any excess fat from the beef for a lighter filling.
- 5
Add the yellow onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the beef. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables soften.
حوالي 7 د
- 6
Stir in the tomato sauce, water, adobo seasoning, oregano, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
حوالي 15 د
ملاحظة الطاهي: Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- 7
To assemble the pastelón, spread a thin layer of the meat filling on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
حوالي 2 د
- 8
Arrange a single layer of fried plantain slices over the meat, overlapping them slightly.
حوالي 2 د
- 9
Spread half of the remaining meat filling over the plantains. Top with half of the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese.
حوالي 1 د
- 10
Add another layer of plantain slices, then the remaining meat filling. Finish with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese.
حوالي 1 د
- 11
Pour the beaten egg evenly over the top layer of cheese. This helps bind the pastelón together during baking.
حوالي 1 د
- 12
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastelón is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly and lightly golden.
حوالي 30 د
ملاحظة الطاهي: If the cheese browns too quickly, you can loosely cover the dish with foil.
- 13
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the layers to set and makes for easier slicing.
