Ingredients
- black, or ripened plantain
- 1/4" corn or soybean oil
Directions
1
Cut the banana in half. Don't peel yet.
2
Cut each 1/2 lengthwise. You now have quartered the plantain into four equal, narrow, relatively flat pieces.
3
Now peel the plantain, more by pulling it off with your knife than peeling per se.
4
Heat 1/4" corn or soybean oil in a pan.
5
Put the plantain in the oil when the oil has reached a medium-high temperature. If oil smokes, turn it down.
6
Turn the plantain when the natural sugars in the fruit begin to carmelize (just starting to turn brown) - about 6 minutes
7
Fry the other side - about 5 minutes
8
Place fried plantains on paper towels to remove extra oil
