Colombian Fried Plantains
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup oil for frying
  • 1 ripe plantain, peeled and cut into 1-inch rounds
  • 1 pinch salt
Instructions
1
Position a serving platter in an inverted orientation on your work surface.
2
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Sear sliced plantains in the hot oil until they develop a light golden color, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Utilize a slotted spoon to transfer the plantain slices onto the inturned platter, retaining the oil within the frying pan. Place a second serving platter, with its surface facing upwards, onto the plantain slices. Gently press down on the top platter to flatten and mash the plantains.
3
Add the flattened plantains to the hot oil and cook until they achieve a rich brown color, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the fried plantains to a paper towel-lined serving dish and sprinkle salt over them.
