Home made fried
plaintains are great sides with
pork chops or
beefsteak (in spanish emapnada), when you fry cube beefsteak in flour batter.
There are two types of
plaintains, there are the sweet yellow ripe bananas that have a sweet flavor to them when you fry it and are great for breakfast.
Green plaintains are not sweet but are delicious when flavored with garlic and if fried thinly resemble
plaintain chips. These
plaintains are cut on a diagonal and not too thick.
If you have a deep fryer or a deep large skillet add oil to cover the entire
plaintains add garlic powder and pinch of salt to
plaintains. As soon as the plaintains brown slightly take them out and press them with the
plaintain peel or skin to flatten slightly then place in oil again. Leave in until
plaintains are crispy, eat them when they are warm.
Great with a garlic
butter sauce and porkchops and lettuce tomato salad. These are great sides with rice as well. Sweet
plaintains are great and cooked the same way, only that these
plaintains are better with scrambled eggs and breakfast items such as corn beef hash. At least I like to eat these with these items.
