A Venezuelan dish, choose plantains that are yellow with some black spots, much like a ripe banana. If they are green, allow them to ripen or else they will suck the spit from your mouth! Icky, trust me, I know. Been there, done that! From Cooking Light. Pretty simple recipe submitted for ZWT4

Yum yum yum! I used a black skinned plantain and enjoyed the little bit of sweetness it gave. I used corn oil. Thanks! Made for the Epicurean Queens, ZWT 2009!

This is really going to be one ot those that boils down to if you like plantains or not. I do so I enjoyed them and especially as it was so easy to throw together. I had it along side black beans and rice for lovely tropical vegetarian meal. Made for Chow Hounds on ZWT5.

We had never tried plantains before and were pleasantly surprised. I'm not sure it's something I would seek out to make again, to be honest, but I liked these and the flavor. Made for ZWT.

Very nice. The only way I have ever had plantains was in Mexico and they were drenched in a sweet syrup, so this was very different! Tasted like french fries to me. Mine were done after about 2 min on each side. Made for ZWT4.
