Plantain Patties

I love plantains, which look like big bananas, especially when cooked in fat and covered in salt ;)



Plantain Patties


2-3 semi-ripe plantains
Sea salt
Solid cooking fat
Topping: guacamole (optional)






1. In a medium-sized pot, bring salted water to a boil.
2. Peel and cut plantains into 2-inch slices.
3. Put plantain chunks into boiling water and blanch for about 1 minute.
4. Remove plantains from water and place on wooden cutting board.
5. Smash each chunk with a masher to flatten into a patty.
6. In a large saucepan, heat cooking fat on high.
7. Once pan is very hot, place plantain chunks and sear each side until slightly browned and crisped.
8. Place on platter. Top with a dollop of guacamole and sea salt.
9. Enjoy!
