Made a Jibarito! - Puerto Rican Plantain Sandwich
I’ve had a craving for one of these for a long time and just decided to make them myself. Instead of using flour buns this sandwich calls for fried plantains to keep it all together.
This was going to be a submission for the Steemit Sandwich Contest hosted by @jaybird but since this was my first go at making a Jibarito this was more of a learning process (I need bigger plantains, hold off on the jokes.)
I used chicken for the meat filling but I believe steak is more traditional. The hardest part of this is frying the plantains. Im not a fan of oil splatter and the clean up process. Shoutout to those Steemians that make food post everyday, if I did that my kitchen would always be spotless (@alphasteem !!!)
Short description from wikipedia:
The jibarito (pronounced hee-bah-REE-toe), is a sandwich made with flattened, fried green plantains instead of bread, garlic-flavored mayonnaise, and a filling that typically includes meat, cheese, lettuce and tomato.[2][3] The original jibarito had a steak filling, and that remains the usual variety, but other ingredients, such as chicken and pork, are common.
