Instructions

1. Boil the whole, unpeeled green plantains in salted water for 20 to 25 minutes, until a knife tip slides in easily.
2. Drain, peel while still hot and mash the bananas with the butter, a pinch of salt and the hot water to get a smooth dough.
3. If using pork, brown it with the onion for 8 minutes, then drain it.
4. Shape balls about 8 cm across and hollow out a small well in the centre.
5. Fill with the cheese and pieces of pork, then close the dough and reshape it into a smooth ball.
6. Heat the oil in a deep pan to about 170 °C.
7. Fry the bolones for 4 to 5 minutes, turning them, until a golden crust forms, then drain on paper towel. Serve hot.
