Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 firm-ripe plantains*
vegetable oil for deep-frying
*available at Hispanic markets and some specialty produce markets and supermarkets

Steps:

  • With a small sharp knife cut ends from each plantain and halve crosswise. Cut a lengthwise slit through skin along inside curve. Beginning in center of slit pry skin from plantain and with rippled blade of a mandoline or decorating knife cut flesh crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices.
  • In a deep fryer or large deep skillet heat 1 1/2 inches oil to 375°F. on a deep-fat thermometer and fry 12 to 15 plantain slices at a time, turning them, 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden, transferring as fried with a skimmer or slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Season plantain slices with salt. (Plantain slices should be slightly crisp on outside but soft on inside.) Plantain slices are best served immediately but may be made 1 day ahead, cooled completely, and kept in an air-tight container. Reheat plantain slices on a rack in a shallow baking pan in a preheated 350°F. oven 5 minutes, or until heated through.

ALMOST FRIED PLANTAINS - VIRTUALLY FAT FREE



Almost Fried Plantains - Virtually Fat Free image

This is more a technique than a recipe per se. However, if you love the taste of fried sweet plantains but don't want all the fat, this is the way to go. For those less familiar with plantains, they would best be described as a cooking banana. These pair well with almost and Caribbean entree. For the best results, make sure you have a really ripe plantain one that is all yellow with a good number of brown spots. Though I have portioned this as a half plantain per serving, one could easily eat a whole one alone.

Categories     Tropical Fruits

Time 7m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 ripe plantain, look for one with lots of brown spots
1/4-1/3 cup water
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Peel plantain and slice 1/4 inch thick on a slight diagonal. This will give you oblong slices that are easy to handle while cooking.
  • Using medium-high heat, pre-heat a non stick skillet.
  • Place plantains in a single layer in the pan. Add water just until it covers the bottom half of the plantains.
  • Reduce heat a small amount and cook 2 or 3 minutes until the water evaporates. Your plantains should begin to have a softer texture and more translucent quality.
  • Lightly spray the tops of the plaintains with cooking spray and turn over. Cook an additional minute or so until you get a lovely, slightly crispy brown exterior on the plantains.
  • Give the tops another quick spray of oil and turn over again. Cook the first side a minute or so until it too has browned a bit.
  • Stop eating the plantains while you're cooking. :-).
  • Serve.
