    Title: Fried Plantains
    Categories: Caribbean
    Yield: 4 Servings

    2 Ripe plantains; up to 3
    3/4 c Neutral oil; up to 1 c

    Preparation time: 10 minutes
    Cooking time: 8 minutes

    Sweet, caramelized fried plantains made with just ripe plantains and
    oil. The riper the plantain, the sweeter the bite.

    Cut the ends of the plantains, cut it in half, and then slice a
    shallow line down the peel. Remove the peel and slice the plantains
    diagonally into 1/2"-thick pieces.

    Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. You want
    about 1/4" oil, enough to come halfway up the plantain slices. The
    oil should reach a temperature of 325 to 350?F (160 to 180?C).

    Carefully place the plantains in the oil in the skillet in a single
    layer. Allow the plantains to fry for about 3 to 4 minutes on each
    side, flipping when the bottom gets a little caramelization.

    Transfer the plantains to a wire rack to drain any excess oil and
    cool. Serve and enjoy.

    Title: Fried Plantains
    Categories: African
    Yield: 6 Servings

    3 Ripe plantains
    Salt; to taste
    2 c Oil

    Preparation time: 5 minutes
    Cooking time: 10 minutes

    Fried plantains--This is a sweet-savory dish that features thick
    slices of ripe plantains lightly salted and deep-fried in oil till
    golden brown. The result is a caramel-like brown crust that is
    savory-sweet and a soft and very sweet interior.

    Cut the ends of the plantains off and off the skin. slice on the
    bias--into about 1/4 to 1/2" thickness. Season with salt and mix
    together.

    Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium to high heat.

    Carefully add the plantain inside the oil in a single layer. Don't
    over-crowd the oil.

    Fry the first side for about 3 to 4 minutes. Then flip to the other
    side and fry for another 3 to 5 minutes or till both sides are golden
    brown.

    Remove the plantains from the oil and transfer them to a colander.

    Repeat with the remaining plantains if you have more and serve hot!
