How to Make Guineos en Escabeche:
- Cut the ends of the green bananas and peel them. Cut the bananas into one inch chunks.
- Place the bananas into a large pot of water with a pinch of salt and boil over a high heat for 10-12 minutes, or just until fork tender.
- While the bananas are cooking, cut the gizzards into smaller bite sized pieces and boil with water in a different pot for ten minutes.
- Drain the bananas and put into a large bowl. Drizzle a little olive oil to keep them fresh.
- In a separate pot, heat the oil over a medium-high heat and then add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil then lower to a simmer.
- Cook until the onions and peppers have softened. About 7-10 minutes.
- Taste for seasonings and adjust to your liking.
- Once the vegetables have softened, pour the mixture into the large bowl with the bananas and toss to coat.
- Fold in the gizzards and refrigerate for an hour before serving.
Notes:Â Adjust seasonings to your liking! Use chicken or turkey gizzards. You can even use chicken breasts in places of gizzards, if desired.
