Ingredients:

• ½ c. vegetable oil
• 3 medium sized green plantains, peeled and cut crosswise into ½ thick slices.

Preparation:

In a large skillet, heat the oil over moderate heat until a light haze forms over it. Add as many plantain slices as you can without crowding the pan. Brown for about 2 minutes on each side. As they brown, transfer them to paper towels to drain.

On a board, use a broad solid (not slotted) spatula to press each slice into a round, flat piece about ¼ inch thick and 2 inches in diameter.

Fry the rounds again for about 1 minute on each side. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

Serves 6

Serving Size: 1/2 plantain
