Ingredients:
2 very ripe plantains ( the skin of the plantain should be brownish black)
oil
salt (optional)
Directions:
Heat approximately 1/4″ oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Peel the plantain, and cut at an angle, making slices about 3/4″ thick.
Brown plantain in oil, approximately 2 minutes a side, or until both sides are brown.
When browned, remove from skillet and place on a paper towel covered plate to drain the excess oil off.
Serve hot.
The traditional way is to serve plain, but I like to sprinkle them with a little bit of salt for a nice, salty sweet taste.
