Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
Vegetable oil, for frying
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pinch salt
3 green plantains, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

Steps:

  • Add the coconut oil to a large skillet. Add enough vegetable oil to come about a third of the way up the sides of the skillet and heat over medium-high heat until very hot.
  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Mix together the brown sugar, paprika, cayenne and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Add the plantain slices to the oil in batches and fry until golden brown on the outside, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oil and smash to a chip size with a wooden mallet or rolling pin. Return the plantains to the oil in small batches again so they do not stick together and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer the chips to the towel-lined baking sheet and top with the seasoning mixture.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 33

3 lb whole chicken
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
3 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
1 red onion, chopped
3 celery stalks, sliced
2 green chiles, sliced
3 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
24 oz lager beer
10 oz chicken stock
1 fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
5 roma tomatoes, chopped
2 red onions, chopped
1 jalapeño, chopped
1 tablespoon kosher salt
¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 lime, zested
1 lime, juiced
1 cup plain yogurt
2 avocados, pitted
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup olive oil
10 oz plantain chips
15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
¼ cup pickled jalapenos
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Break down the chicken into 6 parts--2 thighs, 2 breasts, and 2 wings.
  • Add the chicken pieces to large bowl with the Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons of canola oil, the salt, and pepper and toss to coat.
  • In a large pan over medium-high heat, add the chicken, skin-side down, and the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sear the chicken until browned on both sides and the skin is crispy, about 5-8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • To the hot pan, add the onion, celery, green chiles, garlic, and tomato paste, stirring to combine after each ingredient is added. Sweat until fragrant and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan with the beer and chicken stock. Return the chicken to pan, cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and braise for 1 hour.
  • Make the pico de gallo: In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, onions, jalapeño, salt, cilantro, and the lime zest and juice. Stir to combine.
  • Make the avocado yogurt: In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, avocados, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Mash with 2 forks until mostly smooth and well combined.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Remove the chicken from the braising liquid. Increase the heat to high and cook the braising liquid until reduced by half, about 30 minutes.
  • Using forks, shred the chicken and place the meat in a large bowl. Discard the bones or save for another use.
  • Add 1 cup (240 ML) of the reduced braising liquid to the chicken and stir to combine.
  • Assemble the nachos: Spread the plantain chips on a baking sheet in an even layer. Top with half of the black beans and all of the chicken, then the remaining black beans. Cover with the cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper Jack cheeses and finish with the pickled jalapeños.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  • Top the nachos with the pico de gallo, avocado yogurt, and cilantro.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 to 6 yellow (unripe) plantains
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch ground allspice
Pinch ground cinnamon
Pinch ground clove
Canola oil, for deep frying

Steps:

  • Place the plantains in a bowl of cold water to soak for 30 to 40 minutes (this will help make them easier to peel).
  • Combine the salt, garlic, sugar, chile powder, cumin, paprika, thyme, pepper, allspice, cinnamon and clove in a dry pan and toast lightly until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Preheat a large pot of canola oil to 350 degrees F.
  • Peel the plantains and, using a mandolin, finely slice lengthwise. Working in batches, deep fry the plantain slices in the hot oil until golden and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Once all of the plantain slices are fried, toss them in the toasted spice mixture and serve.
