Paleo Ham and Cheese on a Plantain “Bun”
 

Ingredients
The “Bun”
  • 1 green plantain
  • 2 tablespoons of melted Coconut oil
  • Salt (to taste)
Ham and Cheese
  • (substituting bacon, lettuce and tomato for the middle would also be yummy!)
  • Ham sliced for sandwiches
  • Baby spinach or baby lettuce leaves
  • Slices of cheese (I use Daiya brand cheddar cheese, to avoid dairy)
  • Pickles (optional)

Instructions
  1. For “the bun”, peel plantain and slice into 2 inch thick rounds.
  2. Place into boiling rounds for approximately 5 minutes or until soft.
  3. Put soft rounds into a mini food processor and add 1 or 2 tablespoons of coconut oil.
  4. Process until the mixture is in crumbles and sticks together.
  5. Scrape the sides of the food processor and place plantain mixture between two cookie sheet sized pieces of parchment paper.
  6. Roll out to desired thickness and cut into fun shapes with a cookie cutter.
  7. Fry these shapes in coconut oil in a frying pan until slightly crispy. Flip with spatula and cool on a wire rack.
  8. Place the ham, lettuce and cheese between two slices of “bun”.
