Description:
Time: 20 min (5 min to prepare, 15 min to cook)
Meal type: Snack
Ethnicity: American
Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients:
1 each salt & pepper
1 each avocado
1 each plantain
Directions:
* Warm 1-2 cm of your prefered oil (soy bean or olive recomended) in a small pan over medium heat
* Peel & cut plantain into 12-15 round slices.
* Cook slices on both sides until golden brown. Don't overcrowd. In a small pan, 1 plantain cooks in 3 batches.
* Slice avocado in half from top to bottom around the pit. Remove pit. Now, cutting through the meat of the friut only (not the skin), make 7-8 lengthwise slices in each half. Do the same widthwise & you will be able to scoop out the avocado cubes with a spoon. These cubes or chunks will top your fried plantain slices which, hopefully, have not burnt.
* Salt and pepper lightly before serving on a large platter.
* Proper selection of avacado is key. For this you will want one that is fully ripe yet still a bit firm.
* Plantain is ready when skin turns brown.
