Plantains with Provolone and Guava

Chef Dario Pineda-Gutierrez,

An unusual combination of sweet fruit and salty cheese, this dessert is similar to a traditional Colombian snack. Chef Dario picks up guava paste at ethnic grocers like Dino’s Grocery Mart, 460 Notre Dame Ave.

2 ripened plantains, peeled and sliced lengthwise
1 cup provolone cheese, thinly sliced
1 can guava paste
