These are a traditional South American side dish. I serve them alongside a plate full of rice, meat, and boiled salt potatoes. They add a nice sweetness to the meal.

Yield 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 very ripe plantains (the skin of the plantain should be brownish black)
oil
salt (optional)

Steps:

  • 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.

I think I found this in a newspaper. It's one of the easiest recipes I have and takes only a few minutes to make. The plaintains should be somewhat soft with black spots on the skin for these to come out right.

MADUROS (FRIED SWEET PLANTAINS)



Maduros (Fried Sweet Plantains) image

Tender in the middle and crisp at the edges, maduros, or sweet fried plantains, are served as a side dish throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Plantains change color as they ripen: They are firm when green and unripe, then soften as they turn yellow, and eventually, black. Like bananas, plantains develop more sugar as time passes. For the sweetest maduros, use blackened plantains - they have the most sugar, and will yield a more caramelized result. If you can only find yellow ones at the store, buy them in advance and be prepared to wait over a week for them to fully ripen. They're worth it.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 very ripe, blackened plantains (about 6 ounces each)
Neutral oil, such as vegetable or canola oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Use a paring knife to cut a slit along the length of the plantains, carefully avoiding cutting into the flesh. Remove peels and discard. Slice plantains at an angle crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces (about 12 pieces per plantain).
  • In a large skillet, heat about 1/8 inch vegetable oil over medium-high. When the oil shimmers, add half the sliced plantains and fry until golden brown, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes per side. The plantains should be caramelized and slightly crisp at the edges but still tender in the middle.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer maduros to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining sliced plantains. Serve immediately.
