Platanos Fritos (Sauteed Plantains)
By: ElleFirebrand
Jun 5, 2008
Use the pinton variety of plantain in this recipe (yellow with black spots) as it holds its shaped after cooked. Published in the June 2008 issue of "Cooking Light." I am a big plaintain fan but don't eat them often even though they are very easy to find in grocery stores here in Nebraska because of our Mexican population. This is a simple and easy way to prepare them that doesn't require frying. Posted for ZWT 4 - Central and South America.

These were excellent. I agree they would work as a side dish or a dessert, maybe served over some french toast or pancake. Made for ZWT4.

A super quick side dish to go with your next Central/South American dinner. I loved the combination of sweet with salt. Thanks Alexis. Made for ZWT4 by a Jefe de la Cocina.
