    Crispy Plantain Patties (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Plantains are commonly used for cooking in most tropical regions. Under ripe plantains or green plantains have a starchy texture, whereas overripe plantains have a sweeter taste; both are delicious.  This recipe works best with green plantains, and it is dairy, egg, corn and gluten-free.

    Crispy Plantain Patties (gluten-free)

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Serving Size:
    Makes about 4 large  patties

    Patty Ingredients

    • 3 cups mashed small green bananas (approximately 4 plantains)
    • ½ Cup Gluten-free all purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
    • cooking oil
    Topping Ingredients
    • ¾ cup grated carrot
    • ¼  cup cilantro, chopped
    • 1 avocado sliced
    • 3 green onions chopped into ¼ inch pieces
    Nutty Filling Ingredients
    • 2 cups soaked cashews
    • 5 cloves garlic
    • 3 Tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
    • 6 Tablespoons olive oil
    • ⅓ cup gluten-free soy sauce
    To Make plantain patties:
    1.  Do not peel the plantains yet. Cut off plantain ends and make cuts along the side by scoring the plantain.
    2. Boil in large pot for approximately 20 minutes with peels (until you can  poke a fork through them).
    3. Drain and let cool.
    4. Remove peels and mash plantains.
    5. Add flour and baking powder to plantains to create a dough.
    6. Roll into four balls and then into 5” patties on a floured counter or cutting board.
    7. Combine cashews, lemon, soy sauce, garlic, and  olive oil in a food processor or blender and blend  until smooth.
    8. Heat a small amount of cooking oil in a skillet over medium and fry cakes until golden brown.
    9. Add  nutty filling and veggie toppings to each patty and serve hot.
    10. Serving suggestion: Serve with a side of beans and  rice for a traditional Puerto Rican meal.

    This sounds like a delicious recipe! Growing up on Latin food, this is definitely a great gluten-free alternative to a Latin-style meal.

    Thank you for this interesting article and recipe, however, I would like something a bit more basic, as well as some info on how to shop for and pick good plantains.

    I diagnosed myself for gluten intolerance after a lifetime of bizarre, seemingly unrelated afflictions. If my doctors had their way, I would have already undergone neck surgery, still be on 3 different inhalers for asthma, be vomiting daily and having chronic panic attacks. However, since eliminating gluten from my diet in May 2009, I no longer suffer from any of those things. Even with the proof in the pudding (or gluten) my doctors now want me to ingest gluten to test for celiac-no can do.

    This recipe comes to us from Paula Santos.
    1 medium sized cooked mashed potato
    1 egg yolk
    4 tablespoon rice flour
    2/3 cup cornstarch
    ½ stick margarine (50g)
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    ½ teaspoon salt

    Mix all ingredients until workable and add more cornstarch if necessary. Open dough cut biscuits and bake at 350° for 20 minutes.

    Ingredients:
    2 cup Tapioca Flour (or starch - same thing)
    1 tablespoon Baking powder
    ¾ teaspoon Salt
    1 cup Finely grated Cheese (I use Pecorino Romano for rolls and pizza. Use ½-1 cup sharp cheddar for crackers.)
    3 Large Eggs
    1 tablespoon Olive oil
    3 tablespoons Milk
    Directions:
    Mix dry ingredients and then add wet stuff. Mix together until it's the consistency of cookie dough or moist play dough. You might need to add flour or milk about 2 tablespoons at a time until it's right. It depends on humidity, how large the eggs actually are and other factors that I haven't figured out yet. You can refrigerate it at this point for up to an hour.
    For rolls - you want it a bit on the moist side. Spray non-stick spray on your hands and shape into about 12 balls. (...

    "Platano" is a Spanish word for the fruit we Americans know as the plantain. The plantain is a heartier older cousin of the sweet, commercial banana, and a fruit I think is underused here in America. Firmer plantains are commonly used for savory dishes, but as they ripen, they become sweeter. When that happens, they become perfect for desserts and other sweet dishes.
    Look in the dessert section of the menu restaurants across central and South American restaurants,  and you will find fried plantains, or platanos fritos.
    This version of plantains is quite versatile. I’ve served it as a simple dessert, but it pairs well many breakfast and lunch staples. If you’re able, make extra honey butter to reserve; it's a great spread that complements the plantains beautifully.

    Celiac.com 08/07/2013 - Marinated chicken hearts are a common menu item in many bars in South America, especially in Brazil. But they don't get much plate time in the States. This recipe is meant to help change that.
    Try these delicious little gems for your next BBQ, tailgate, or friendly cookout. They go great with a nice cold beer, and put a nice spin on the whole 'meat on a stick' tradition.
    Ingredients:
    2 to 3 pounds of chicken hearts ½ cup of hot water 1 lemon 3-4 cloves garlic, crushed ½ teaspoon fresh ginger 2 teaspoons kosher sea salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper ½ teaspoon paprika 1 tablespoon olive oil for basting dash smoked sea salt, optional Lemon wedges as garnish  Directions:

    Add one teaspoon of ...
