Platani arrostiti

Plátanos asados is a Colombian dish that is usually served as a side dish or an appetizer. It is quite simple to prepare the dish, which is made with ripe plantains, butter or oil, and thick slices of mozzarella. Apart from this classic version, some people also like to use guava slices in addition to the cheese. The plantains are peeled, rubbed with butter or oil, baked, then slit open horizontally and stuffed with mozzarella. The combination is then returned to the oven for a short while so that the cheese melts, and the dish is ready to be consumed. It is recommended to garnish it with hot sauce, if desired.
