Rellenitos de Plátano (Plantain Dumplings Filled with Sweet Black Beans)
A Guatemalan dessert: black-skinned ripe plantain boiled and mashed into a dough, wrapped around black beans cooked with chocolate and cinnamon, shaped into little eggs and fried. Fried raw, a ripe plantain burns its sugar on the outside before the middle is done; this one is boiled first, so the middle is already cooked and the oil only has to colour it. There is no flour in it at all — it is a dessert made from the two staples of the everyday plate, beans and plantain.
