    Title: Fried Plantains
    Categories: African
    Yield: 6 Servings

    3 lg Ripe plantains
    1 c Peanut oil; (1" deep);
    - up to 1-1/2 c
    1 1/2 ts Ginger powder
    1/2 ts Chili powder
    Salt; to taste

    Slice the plantains thinly. Heat oil in a heavy saucepan, until a
    small piece of bread sinks, rises sizzling, and browns in 10 to 15
    seconds. Fry the plantain slices a few at a time until crisp,
    removing with a slotted spoon, and drain. Toss in a brown paper bag
    with salt and spices, and serve warm.

    Title: Fried Plantains
    Categories: Caribbean
    Yield: 4 Servings

    2 Ripe plantains; up to 3
    3/4 c Neutral oil; up to 1 c

    Preparation time: 10 minutes
    Cooking time: 8 minutes

    Sweet, caramelized fried plantains made with just ripe plantains and
    oil. The riper the plantain, the sweeter the bite.

    Cut the ends of the plantains, cut it in half, and then slice a
    shallow line down the peel. Remove the peel and slice the plantains
    diagonally into 1/2"-thick pieces.

    Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. You want
    about 1/4" oil, enough to come halfway up the plantain slices. The
    oil should reach a temperature of 325 to 350?F (160 to 180?C).

    Carefully place the plantains in the oil in the skillet in a single
    layer. Allow the plantains to fry for about 3 to 4 minutes on each
    side, flipping when the bottom gets a little caramelization.

    Transfer the plantains to a wire rack to drain any excess oil and
    cool. Serve and enjoy.
