Pastelón de Plátano Maduro

Pastelón de plátano maduro is a generous size layered dish consisting of staple Latin Caribbean foods such as yellow plantains, garlic, onions, cheese, butter and meat. Some regions add other ingredients to their pastelon recipe, such as wine, nutmeg and raisins, to intensify the sweetness, or eggplant for texture. The plantains however, are the main layer of the pastelón and are lightly fried, then baked.
