Flavorful n' Sweet Fried Plantains

 There are a lot of simple dishes to make in record time and fried plantain is one of them! Fried plantains are a very tasty dish that would bring anyone to their knees lol. To put this in a simple way, fried plantains are a must as a side dish!

Now I know what you want to say, "Frying plantain isn't a big deal. It's just plantain and oil, right?" Well yes, you are right about that, but there is a technique to make them flavourful and it packs a punch too! Allow me to show you that technique!

Believed to be originated in Southeast Asia, plantain is a fruit filled with starch and is rarely eaten raw. It us a dish cooked mainly in East Africa, West Africa, the Caribbean countries, Central and South America and a good amount of those in Southeast Asia. Plantains can be eaten as a side dish or eaten alone. It can be cut in different ways.

Ingredients!

Oil ( like vegetable oil, sunflower oil etc.), Plantains (yellow and ripe), Salt, a few chopped onions,a few chopped peppers.

How to make flavourful n' sweet fried plantain

1) Get your plantains and peel them. Use ripe plantains. Ripe plantains are usually yellow in color.

2) Cut the plantains (some people preferred diced plantains while others may simple slice them).

3) Get a pan and pour some oil on it. Then turn up the heat (take note that we are deep frying the plantain, so add adequate oil).

4) As soon as you turn up the heat, add the chopped onions and chopped peppers to the oil. Do this while the oil is not hot. This adds flavor to the oil, and by the time the plantain starts frying, it would absorb the oil (and thus the flavor)

5) When the oil is hot, add a dash of salt on the plantain and start putting the plantain on the pan.

6) Remember to flip the plantains so all sides would be properly fried. When the plantains are golden brown, you take then out if the frying pan and put them on a plate with a tissue/kitchen towel so it can soak up the excess oil.

Remove the tissue/kitchen towel and voilà! Your flavourful and sweet fried plantains are ready to be eaten! Enjoy!
