Puré de Frijol y Plátano Maduro (Bean and Ripe Plantain Puree) / Chicken Turnovers / Magic Sauce



Recipe: Puré de Frijol y Plátano Maduro (Bean and Ripe Plantain Puree)


This Bean and Ripe Plantain Puree is a traditional Colombian side dish. I know it doesn’t look good in the picture, but it is delicious and easy to make and goes perfectly with grilled beef, pork or chicken.

Lay a puff pastry sheet flat. Place about two to three tablespoonfuls of the filling at the center of the sheet. Fold one edge over the filling. Lightly brush the very edge with egg. Fold over the opposite edge, overlapping over the egg-brushed edge to completely enfold the filling. Flip over so that the seam is underneath.

I call this magic sauce. In part, because it makes everything it touches shimmer with deliciousness. It's magic like that. Technically, it's a riff on a chimichurri sauce - one that veered off the rails in a big way. Much tweaking has rendered it a distant second cousin. If that. In fact, the hallmark of that sauce, parsley, I skip entirely.
