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