These appetizers are a cinch to make, and could be filled with almost anything if you don’t have avocados on hand!

Serves 4

You will need:
1 ripe plantain
2 tablespoons butter
1 Hass avocado
1 lime
salt and pepper, to taste
sour cream

1. Peal the plantain, cut into small “drums”.
2. Take the plantain drums to a quick boil.
3. Scoop out some of the meat of the plantain to create a bowl.
4. Place the drums in an oven pan and add butter on top of each one.
5. Bake for 10 minutes until gold.
6. Peel avocado.
7. Blend avocado in a blender with lime juice, salt, and pepper.
8. Assemble the plantain drums by filling them with avocado cream and topping them with sour cream.
