Preparation:
To prepare plantains this way, they have to be dead ripe. If only green ones are available, let sit in a paper bag for a couple of days. They will ripen.
Peel plantains and cut on a severe slant into 1/2-inch slices.
In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Drop in slices and allow to cook for a few minutes. Remove them and serve
Suggestions: they are good with cinnamon or powdered sugar sprinkled over them. |
