RECIPE - Fried Plantain

Tried Plantains for the first time this weekend - Everyone really like them. They tasted like a cross between a banana and a squash.

INGREDIENTS
1- Ripe Plantain
Vegetable Oil
Sea Salt

PROCESS
Pour about 1/2 " of Vegetable Oil in to a frying pan
Heat slowly to a medium heat about a temp of 325 degrees
Cut Plantain into 1" pieces
Fry both sizes for about 2 minutes each
Remove from oil - let set for a minute
Use the bottom of a bowl and gently smash into 1/4" Patty's
Return to oil and fry until outside is crisp
Remove from oil and lightly salt.
Serve warm
