Plantains

Fried Plantains with red pepper

3 ripe plantains

1tsp red pepper

1/2 tsp salt

Vegetable oil

Heat the oil in the skillet on medium high heat. Oil amount will vary depending on size of skillet. You will need enough to cover the plantains half way. Slice the plantains in long ovals about 1/2 inch thick. Toss in a bowl with red pepper and salt.

Place the plantains in a single layer in the skillet once the oil is bubbling. You want them to be a dark brown color but not burnt so watch closely. They sometimes cook fast.

When they're finished put in a bowl or plate with paper towels to drain off any excess oil.
