The pintón type of plantain, yellow with a few black spots, is used here because it holds its shape when cooked. If only green plantains are available, ripen them at room temperature for a few days. Ingredients:
2 plantains, yellow with some black spots (about 1 pound) |
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.
