Preparation
- Step 1
Peel the plantains by making four incisions lengthwise in the skin. Peel the skin off with your fingers.
- Step 2
Cut the plantains into 1-inch diagonal slices. Place in salted water to soak for 15 minutes. Drain well.
- Step 3
Heat the 2 cups vegetable oil to 350 degrees in a fryer or skillet. Add the plantains and fry at 300 degrees for about 15 minutes or until done but not brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Step 4
In the container of a food processor, add the plantains, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Blend to a semicoarse texture.
- Step 5
To serve hot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to a nonstick skillet. Add the plantains and coriander. Toss and cook 1 minute. Serve immediately.
