Use the pinton variety of plantain in this recipe (yellow with black spots) as it holds its shaped after cooked. Published in the June 2008 issue of Cooking Light. I am a big plaintain fan but don't eat them often even though they are very easy to find in grocery stores here in Nebraska because of our Mexican population. This is a simple and easy way to prepare them that doesn't require frying. Ingredients:
2 plantains, yellow with some black spots |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
Directions:
1. Peel plantains; cut each into thirds crosswise. Cut each piece into 4 (2-inch) lengthwise slices.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add plantains to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Transfer plantains to a plate; sprinkle with salt.
