Plantain Cups
Cut off the ends of your green plantain and slice the skin to peel off.
Chop plantain into 1 inch pieces and fry in oil of your choice until golden brown (5 mins).
Remove plantains from oil and place them in a lemon/lime squeezer to smash and form cups.
Place plantains back into oil face down and fry until crispy (2-3 mins).
Remove, place on a napkin to soak up the oil and season with garlic powder.
Carnita Style Mushroom Filling
Chop off the top and bottom of a king oyster mushroom, slice in half, and use a fork to shred into strips.
Add 1 TBSP of sesame oil to a pan on medium high and add oyster mushrooms.
Let the mushrooms absorb all of the sesame oil. (They will look slimy but trust the process).
Once they start to crisp up and brown, add 1 TBSP of soy sauce and ½ tsp of pepper.
Stir until the mushrooms fully absorb all of the soy sauce.
Pico de Gallo Topping
Finely dice a tomato, jalapeno, cilantro and red onion and add about 1 TSP of lime juice.
Take the plantain cups and fill them with the mushroom filling. Top with pico de gallo and serve!
