- This is one of my favorites. Fried plantains are great with a whole range of Caribbean and African-inspired dishes or possibly just as a snack by themselves. Make sure you use green plantains, even though they are somewhat of a nuisance to peel. Ripe ones are too mushy for this preparation.
- METHOD:Peel plantains and cut into 2-inch rounds.
- Heat the oil in a small saucepan till warm but not smoking. Drop the plantain rounds into the warm oil 3 or possibly 4 at a time and cook till well browned, 2 to 3 min. Remove and drain.
- Set each fried plantain on a flat side, and using a rolling pin, frying pan, or possibly whatever else you think will work, squash it as flat as you can. It should have a circular shape.
- Return the flattened plantain sections to the warm oil 3 or possibly 4 at a time and cook till the entire surface is golden, about 2 min. Remove the plantains from the oil, drain, and season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Serve warm or possibly at room temperature.
