Crispy Panfried plantain

Crispy Pan fried plantains served with some pepper sauce. So simple, yet boasting some amazing flavors. Taking simple ingredients and highlighting their versatility is what makes cooking dear to me. In case you haven’t noticed , plantain is one of my favorite ingredient. The array of dishes one can create with this amazing relative to a banana is just outstanding.

This right here is one simple way I enjoy plantains. I start of by steaming the plantains, then seasoning with some fresh spices and  then finish off by panfrying. Occasionally I enjoy deep fried plantains, but we are cutting down on the oil with this one. You still get the nice crisp but a little cleaner for your arteries as my doctor will say.

The pepper sauce makes this the perfect duo. Spicy, a little sweetness from the roma tomatoes and some fresh spices to boot. Serve this crispy pan fried plantains as the perfect starter at your next gathering. You will get the crowd asking lots of questions and asking for seconds and thirds. That’s if there is any left.
