The perfect "con con".
The con con looks great but I like the edges a little more crispy :cheeky:. We eat yuca with bacalao guisado all the time. Yummy.
Hard to get it perfectly rounded like this if the pot is bigger.
To Chip; do you know (or anybody else for that matter) what other countries eat boiled green plantain?, most nationalities I know eat it fried (tostones).
Nope.
I would like to add that I can't eat plantian everyday though, been there done that. A couple of times a week is the most I like, especially a couple of pieces for bfast.
Hondurans eat green plantains (guineos) boiled- either on a plate as an accompaniment or in soups, etc.
Getting back to con-con
My husband was Filipino, so something like con-con was completely unacceptable. Every grain of rice had to be fluffy and perfectly cooked.
Last night I was thinking about con-con and remembered a young couple we knew who were Iranian. The wife had a Persian-style rice cooker and I remember wondering why anyone would choose to make the bottom layer of rice brown and crispy. Her cooker had settings for the level of crispiness.
Just for fun, I did a search and found one. Here it is for all those who like con-con but can't manage it properly.

I would think a good enamel cast iron Dutch oven would be great for cooking rice Dominican style. They are not cheap at about $45, but they last forever and so much nicer than an aluminium pot.
It is the same size the one I use every day to fix my rice all it needs is to be mixed with a creamy beans and hhmmm, QUE MARAVILLA....
