Puerto Rican Guineos en Escabeche | Marinated Green Banana Salad

[@wraynephew6838]

In jamaica 🇯🇲 it is similar to a thing we call escovitch, but instead of green bananas; we pour the onion garlic and vinegar mixture over fried red snapper. Mari's dish is beautiful❤.

[@mariscookingpr]

Omg that sounds sooooo delicious and is making me crave fried fish! 🤤 I don’t think I’ve ever had snapper but now I want some. 😂 In PR, we eat a lot of grouper!

Thank you! I was in a pinch for a quick but tasty Puerto Rican dish like my my mom used to make, and this recipe saved the day, I did serve it warm and was still tasty and perfect! And your tidbits of information were right on target!

[@mariscookingpr]

That’s wonderful! You are so welcome!

[@ramonagaibor1898]

I just made the pickled bananas and they are delicious. Thank you for sharing… great recipe.

[@mariscookingpr]

@@ramonagaibor1898Yay! So glad!

Mari, I was trying to find a good online recipe for guineos to give to friends and found yours to be the best. Others say to peel the guineos before boiling, and that's a recipe for early discouragement. I follow your technique (and my mother in law) and boil them with the peel on, and that's a recipe for success. Thanks for sharing the right way. 😉👍

[@mariscookingpr]

Yes! It’s such a time (and nails lol) saver!

[@davidkeener5701]

[@maggie4475]

I love videos that just show the cooking , not talking .. no disrespect ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mariscookingpr]

I have to explain the recipe somehow, friend!😅 You could always simply put the video on mute.

[@blueb4829]

Looks delicious. Have you tried it with green plantains? I was thinking of that since I have green plantains on hand.

[@mariscookingpr]

Hi! Green plantains do not taste as good as green bananas when they’re boiled, unfortunately! However, give it a try and see how you like it!

[@bklynny64]

When you add gizzards how long you cook them for?

[@mariscookingpr]

Boil them for about an hour at least! 😊

[@ramosaponte5623]

Muy bien.

[@projectunashamed7239]

How much will the recipe produce in terms of serving size for a certain amount of people?

[@mariscookingpr]

@@projectunashamed7239 I’d say it’s enough for a small gathering - about 4-6 adults with moderate portions, or as many as 7-8 adults if served as a smaller side dish. Just depends how much they take!

[@projectunashamed7239]

Okay well they came out great, Praise God

[@mariscookingpr]

@ Yay! So glad!

[@derpingflamingo]

Is there a recipe for a green side salad? I see it served with bistec encebollado in some.videos and the salad has stuff like lettuce cucumbers tomato avocado. Wonder if it has a name

[@mariscookingpr]

Hi! No specific name other than a Puerto Rican- style green salad. 🤣 My mom and I usually add lettuce, sliced onion, tomato…with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper as the dressing. My grandma used to add corn kernels to it.

[@derpingflamingo]

@@mariscookingpr thanks:)

[@garylespron7-WS]

Yeah that's call una saladita light 😊

[@HellosunshineUSA]

Can you use green plantains instead of green bananas?

[@mariscookingpr]

You probably could, but I don’t know of anyone who has ever substituted with green plantains!

[@milliegarcia8781]

❤

[@wilderfrompr]

I can tell this is a good recipe. But a word of warning for people out there. I was only able to get small green bananas. And I just boiled them for 20 minutes and they turned to mush. So be sure to check them early if you had to get the small guineos.

[@wilderfrompr]

So it's the morning of Thanksgiving and this is the side dish I said I'd bring to a small gathering with 4 other people. I thought "well, none of them are Puerto Rican so they don't expect it to be in chunks". I chopped the onion and olives up extra fine and mixed it into the mashed guineos. It's delicious. I'll just take it and let them know they got mushy but they're still really good.

[@mariscookingpr]

Yes! I have noticed that the smaller guineos do need less time.

[@knatural7754]

Escabeche never use to be a side dish i liked until I started having pregnancy cravings .

[@MonicaRodriguez-qh3kp]

What if the centers of the bananas are black? I just made it and found some like this 😢

[@mariscookingpr]

I made some yesterday for today, and mine were too. It doesn’t mean they are spoiled! The seeds are just spread out and it makes it look a bit unsightly! 😅 Enjoy!
