Description

This tasty dish is really easy to prepare and tastes great with pork chops, etc. It can also just be eaten as a snack.

Ingredients

  • 3 whole Plantains, Very Ripe
  • 3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cups Peanut Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt

Preparation

Slice plantains into 1-inch slices, put in a bowl and gently toss plantain slices with brown sugar.

Heat peanut oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter begins to sizzle. Put plaintain slices into the skillet and fry until the plantains begin to turn golden brown, then turn over, and continue frying until they have caramelized, about 2–3 minutes per side.

Remove slices from the skillet and dab onto paper towels. Do not put slices onto paper towels as they will stick to the paper due to the caramelization. Put on a plate and sprinkle with salt before serving.

These were perfect…I was hesitant to try to do this as the only time I’ve eaten a fried plantain was via my Dominican friend (who really knew her plantains). These were as close to her authentic ones as could be. Delicious! Thanks!!
