Cuban Fuf Turkey Dressing Recipe

How to make it

---

• http://multiculturalcookingnetwork.wordpress.com/2009/11/17/cuban-fufu-turkey-dressing/
• Cut ends off plantains and discard.
• Slice each plantain into two-inch chunks.
• Make a light cut into skin with knife along one edge. DO NOT PEEL.
• In large pot, add plantains to chicken stock.
• Bring to boil, then lower heat, cover and simmer until tender.
• For meat, you need pork with plenty of fat — either well marbled or with a fat layer or both. We’ve had good luck with de-boned pork ribs. Or have the butcher cut something to order.
• Slice meat into small pieces about one inch.
• Add salt to taste.
• Place in large sauce pan and add water to just barely cover.
• Bring to boil and simmer, uncovered until all water has boiled away.
• Fry pork pieces in rendered fat just until brown, but NOT crispy! The meat should be tender and stringy.
• Remove meat .
• Sauté garlic and onion in rendered fat over medium heat, three to five minutes.
• During last minute add lemon juice.
• Remove fully cooked plantains from broth (do not discard broth) and peel.
• Mash plantains with a little broth — just enough to make a soft, thick paste – like mashed potatoes.
• Mash together with garlic and lemon and fried pork. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve hot.
