Best Fried Yellow Plantains Recipes
PLATANOS MADUROS (FRIED YELLOW PLANTAINS)
Here, two simple ingredients yield huge, complex results. There's something about frying deep yellow plantains in oil that brings out their sweetness. The crisp outside yields to a soft, sweet center, the complement to a platter of rice and beans and garlicky pork. But, to be honest, they're so good, they might not even make it to the table.

FRIED YELLOW PLANTAINS
From Sarah Ainley's book, The World's Best Recipes, Caribbean section. "When plantains are yellow, they are ripe and ready to enhance most meat, fish or vegetarian dishes. The riper the plantain, the darker and sweeter they are." The amount of oil is just approximate; use just what you need to get the plantains fried.

Steps:
- With a small sharp knife, cut off both ends of the plantains, and cut in half.
- Carefully slit just the skin along the natural ridges of each plantain.
- Ease up the edge of the skin and run the tip of your thumb along the plantains, lifting the skin.
- Gently peel away the skin and slice the plantains lengthwise. Heat a little oil in a large frying pan and fry the plantain slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- When brown and crisp, drain on paper towels and serve hot or cold, sprinkled with chives.
