Deep Fried Plantain Rounds Recipe

by Global Cookbook

Ingredients

2 x green plantains

2 c. vegetable oil salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. This is one of my favorites. Fried plantains are great with a whole range of Caribbean and African-inspired dishes or possibly just as a snack by themselves. Make sure you use green plantains, even though they are somewhat of a nuisance to peel. Ripe ones are too mushy for this preparation.
2. METHOD:Peel plantains and cut into 2-inch rounds.
3. Heat the oil in a small saucepan till warm but not smoking. Drop the plantain rounds into the warm oil 3 or possibly 4 at a time and cook till well browned, 2 to 3 min. Remove and drain.
4. Set each fried plantain on a flat side, and using a rolling pin, frying pan, or possibly whatever else you think will work, squash it as flat as you can. It should have a circular shape.
5. Return the flattened plantain sections to the warm oil 3 or possibly 4 at a time and cook till the entire surface is golden, about 2 min. Remove the plantains from the oil, drain, and season liberally with salt and pepper.
6. Serve warm or possibly at room temperature.
