Fried green plantains with a squeeze of lime juice are wonderful as a snack or side.
Ingredients
Green plantains, peeled and cut at an angle into ½-inch slices
Canola oil
Coarse salt
Lime wedges
Method
Shallow fry plantain slices in hot canola oil until barely brown
Drain on paper towels and allow to cool
Smash them gently with a flat mallet or the side of a bench scraper or metal spatula with a weight on the other side. You get the idea, right? Explaining this in text is like telling someone how to tie a shoe. You want to flatten them a bit and break them but not pulverize them.
Fry the slices again in hot oil, transferring to paper towels when nice and brown
Salt liberally and serve with a wedge of lime
