Stuffed plantain boats

Directions

1. To make the filling, heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the scotch bonnet chili and garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds. Add the bell peppers and sauté for 4 minutes until soft. Add the pork and sauté until the pork is cooked, about 5 minutes. Add the spring onions and season with salt and pepper. Set aside

2. Peel the plantains. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Fry the plantains until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

3. Preheat the over to 350F. Make a slit in each plantain from top to bottom. Fill each plantain with 3-4 tablespoons of the filling and sprinkle with a bit of the cheese. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until the plantain is cooked through.
