Vegetables and Pineapple

Rice and Black Beans

Tostones

Method

Glazed Grilled Vegetables and Pineapple

  1. 1

    Soak Skewers

    Prepare the bamboo skewers by soaking them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Cut bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Make Glaze

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the glaze.

  4. 4

    Skewer Ingredients

    Thread the vegetables and pineapple chunks onto the soaked bamboo skewers, alternating between each.

  5. 5

    Glaze Skewers

    Brush the skewers with the glaze mixture.

  6. 6

    Grill Skewers

    Preheat the grill over medium heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Rice and Black Beans

  1. 7

    Heat Black Beans

    In a saucepan, heat the canned black beans over medium heat. Stir in cumin and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

  2. 8

    Combine Rice and Beans

    In a serving bowl, combine cooked rice, black beans, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well.

Tostones

  1. 9

    Prepare Plantains

    Peel the green plantains and cut them into 1-inch thick slices.

  2. 10

    Fry Plantains

    In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the plantain slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden.

  3. 11

    Flatten and Fry Again

    Remove the fried plantains, flatten them with the bottom of a glass, and return them to the oil for another 2-3 minutes of frying.

  4. 12

    Season Tostones

    Remove from oil, drain on paper towels, and season with salt to taste.
