Plantains taste like bananas crossed with potatoes. Fried, they make a slightly sweet, starchy accompaniment to rice and beans.
Yield: 2-4 servings
Time: 15 minutes
Tools
- large frying pan
- heat-resistant tongs
- plate
- paper towels
- knife
Ingredients
- several T coconut or vegetable oil
- 2 ripe plantains
- salt
Directions
Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Cover the plate with paper towels and set next to the stove.
Cut the ends off the plantains, then cut a slit from one end to the other. Remove and discard the peel.
Slice the plantains on the diagonal, ½-inch thick.
When the oil is very hot, carefully add the plaintain slices in a single layer. Don’t let them touch each other – you may need to do this in two batches.
Let fry for 3-4 minutes, until brown, then carefully flip each piece. Fry another 3-4 minutes until soft and brown.
Transfer to the paper towel and immediately sprinkle with a bit of salt.
Serve hot.
Notes
I love fried plaintains served with rice and beans (or gallo pinto), with sliced tomato and avocado or guacamole on the side.
