plantains (yellow with brown spots) (peeled and

Salt and black pepper

avocado

cherry tomatoes (cut in half, 155 grams)

Rosemary needles

Chimichurri sauce

Bring a large pot of water to boil (about 4 quarts). Once the water is boiling, add the rice and continue boiling for 25 minutes. 

Place frozen beans in a bowl covered with water to quickly defrost, and set aside.

While rice is cooking, pan fry the plantains.

In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

When oil is shimmering, add the plantains (you&#39;ll have to work in batches).

Fry for 1 to 2 minutes on one side and then another minute on the other side or until caramelized and browned. Season with salt to taste.

Heat more olive oil if needed to fry the next batch. Continue untill all plantains are fried.

Remove from pan and set aside.

In the same large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the same medium heat.

Toss in the drained and dried beans. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes until cooked through and slightly browned, set aside.

When the rice is ready, drain and return the rice back to the pot. Season with a sprinkle of salt and stir to combine.

Serve each ingredient separately in serving bowls or plates together with the tomatoes, avocado slices, and chimichurri sauce. Assemble the bowls at the table.

To serve, layer rice, edamame beans, and fried plantains into 4 serving bowls.  Arrange some tomatoes and avocado slices on the side.

Serve with chimichurri sauce and dried rosemary needles (optional) for garnish.

Store leftovers except for avocado in an airtight container(s) in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
