Fried Plantains

submitted by rcoen

Green plantains
Vegetable oil for frying
Salt and pepper
Hot sauce (recipe below)

Peel the plantain and cut off both ends. Thinly slice the plantain into
1/4 - 1/2 inch rounds. In a large, heavy skillet, heat the vegetable oil
over medium heat keeping a close watch on it. Once the oil sizzles when a
slice of plantain is added, add several plantain slices and brown them for
about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer them to towels to drain the excess
oil. On a cutting board, use a rolling pin to flatten each slice into a
flat round. Add the flattened rounds into the oil once again and brown on
each side for a minute more on each side. Drain again on the towels, add
salt and pepper and serve at once.

Hot Sauce

1 small hot pepper, finely diced
1 large chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green onions
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Pour the lemon juice over the onions and let marinate for about 2 hours.
Place all ingredients in a
pot, bring to a boil and cook until the pepper is soft (about 10-15
minutes). Let the mixture cool and
refrigerate to store.
