Ingredients

  • red palm oil
  • several ripe plantain bananas, peeled and cut into discs or cubes
  • salt
  • one onion, chopped
  • two tomatoes, peeled (if desired), and chopped
  • one chile pepper, cleaned and chopped

Directions

1

Heat a cup or two of palm oil in a skillet. Sprinkle the raw plantains with salt.

2

Fry the plantains until they are golden brown.

3

Remove the plantains from the oil and drain on absorbent paper (paper towel).

4

It may be best to fry the plantains in a few batches.

5

In the same skillet and oil in which the plantains were fried, fry the onion, tomato, and chile pepper for a few minutes, stirring often.

6

Add a few spoonfuls of water, reduce heat, and simmer for a several minutes until a thick, chunky sauce is obtained. Some cooks add a splash of vinegar.

7

Place the plantains on a plate, cover them with a grilled fish (see below), and pour the onion-tomato mixture over them.
