Fried Plantains... What else to say. They are good. Kids love them. Ingredients:
2 very dark plantains, the darker the sweeter - like a bad banana |
light vegetable oil |
salt in a shaker |
1/2 lime |
large shallow platter |
paper towels |
Directions:
1. Peel plantains and rub them with the lime to prevent them from turning brown.
2. Slice the plantains into thin slices and smash to flatten.
3. Heat the oil in a large skillet or deep pan to the right (high) frying temperature.
4. Place small batches of the chips into the frying pan or skillet carefully separating them out with a fork. Some clumping is inevitable.
5. Tap the chips with the fork when they begin to turn a medium golden yellow.
6. They are ready to be quickly scooped out when you hear a 'hollow' sound as you tap them.
7. Remove the chips and place over paper towels to allow the excess oil to be soaked and use the shaker to salt them while still hot.
8. Serve the chips as soon after cooking as possible.
