Piononos are another Puerto Rican favorite. They are fried sweet plantain pies that are stuffed with Puerto Rican picadillo (ground beef) . They are typically fried twice however considering I felt guilty frying them the first time I decide to bake them for what was supposed to be the second fry and they came out absolutely amazing! I just love the combination of the sweet plantain and the savory flavors of the picadillo, it simply tastes so good! Piononos are delicious on their own as well as alongside of some white rice with beans or yellow rice with pigeon peas. Enjoy!Piononos
