Ingredients
- 5 Green Plantains
- Coconut Oil
- 2 Pounds ground pork
- 3 Tablespoons onion powder
- 2 Tablespoons dried oregano
- 3 Teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 Lime - Juiced
- Shaved deli ham
- Dijon Mustard
- Dill Pickles (sliced)
- Swiss Cheese (optional)
For the buns
- Peel the plantains and slice into 2-inch-thick rounds.
- Boil plantain rounds until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Smash the plantains flat.
- In a skillet, melt a few tablespoons of coconut oil over medium-high heat.
- Fry flattened plantains until brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side.
For the burgers
- Place all ingredients in a bowl.
- Use your hands to mix everything together thoroughly.
- Form the burgers roughly the same size as the plantain buns.
- Cook the burgers in the skillet, adding more oil if needed, about 5 minutes per side.
- (For a smoky and vibrant flavor, grill the patties over an open flame instead of in the skillet.)
- To assemble, place a bun on a plate, top with a burger patty, shaved deli ham, pickles, mustard and cap off with another plantain bun.
