While out shopping, a friend suggested I try fried plantain. So, I pick one up and fried it last night. I have to say, it was surprisingly good. A little odd at first, but this treat will most certainly be made again!
Fried plantain is extremely simple to make:
Canola oil
plantain
cast iron skillet
spatula
Heat up the oil in the skillet on about medium heat. For my electric stove, the setting was half way between 4 and 5.
While the pan is heating, peel the plantain and cut it in half the long way (one side will be flat the other side round).
Once the oil is heated up slightly (about the same heat used to fry an egg) place the plantain halves in the oil. Cook until they are slightly browned, then turn them over. Once the second side is also slightly browned, turn off the heat.
Remove the plantains from the skillet and let them cool slightly before eating.
Enjoy!
