PLATANOS FRITOS (SAUTEED PLANTAINS)
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.

Steps:
- In a large, deep skillet or wok, heat the oil (about a depth of 1 inch) to 350 degrees.

- Place the rounds between brown paper and flatten slightly, using a rolling pin or the heel of your hand. Dip the pressed rounds in a bowl of lightly salted water and return them to the skillet. Fry until deep golden, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and serve.
DULCE DE PLATANOS
Sweet Plantains with Buttered Rum and Coconut Sauce
Yield Serves 4 to 6
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Cut ends from plantains and peel fruit. Diagonally cut plantains into 1/2-inch-thick slices. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat butter over moderate heat until foam subsides and cook plantains until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. With a slotted spatula transfer plantains to a plate, reserving butter in skillet.
- In a very small saucepan heat rum and coconut milk until warm. Add sugar to reserved butter and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until caramelized, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and carefully whisk in warm coconut milk mixture (mixture will vigorously steam and caramel will harden). Cook mixture over low heat, whisking, until caramel is dissolved. Add plantains and cook, without stirring, until heated through and tender, about 5 minutes. In very small saucepan heat cream until warm and pour over plantains. Gently shake skillet to incorporate cream into sauce.
- Cool plantains slightly and serve over ice cream.

20 PLANTAIN RECIPES FOR A TASTE OF THE ISLANDS - INSANELY …

4.3/5 (6)Published 2021-07-26Category Recipe Roundup
- Plantain Fufu. This unusual dish is made using blended and cooked green plantains. It doesn’t have a whole lot of flavor and is usually served alongside a soup or stew, such as obe ata.
- Easy and Delicious Plantain Bread. This recipe certainly looks like your average banana bread recipe, but it won’t taste quite the same. Though you’ll use many of the same ingredients and the same method, plantains are not as sweet as bananas, so your bread with have a more mellow flavor in the end.
- Spicy Plantain Black Bean Tacos. I think these tacos might be my favorite on this list. Trying to find new and exciting meatless Monday meals has been tough recently, but this recipe has given me my groove back!
- Crispy Salted Tostones. Tostones are crispy, flattened plantain chips that are eaten all over the Caribbean and Latin America. Since they’re salted, you’ll need green, unripe plantains rather than the sweeter yellow kind.
- Caribbean Plantain & Avocado Salad. This great little dish makes such a nice change to the standard, fatty potato salads we see at every BBQ, all summer long!
- Crazy Easy Pan-Fried Plantain Pattie. These plantain patties are a terrific gluten-free option to serve alongside your morning eggs or with some juicy pork tenderloin.
- Empanadas de Plátano Maduro (Ripe Plantain Empanadas with Cheese) Empanadas are typically made with a pie-like pastry. This twist on the classic adds plantains to the mix for added flavor and nutrients.
- Sweet Plantain Gnocchi with Garlic Brown Butter. Plantains are very similar to potatoes, so it makes sense you could use them to make gnocchi. The dough is a quick mix of mashed and cooked plantains with ricotta, salt, pepper, and flour.
- 3-Ingredient Plantain Tortillas. I have to admit that I don’t always love corn tortillas. They can be a touch dry for my liking, which is why I almost always stick to flour.
- Mashed Plantains—Sweet & Savory. So, these aren’t the same as mashed potatoes. They’re not creamy and smooth, but rather chunky and funky. I love the texture, but if you’re looking for a velvety smooth mashed potato substitute, you’ll need to work at your plantains for a little longer and add in some cream to help get the right texture.

- Sweet Fried Ripe Plantains. The key to an excellent plate of sweet fried ripe plantains is to ensure that the plantains are at the right degree of ripeness—the riper the plantain, the sweeter it is.
- Tostones (Twice-Fried Green Plantain Chips) These twice-fried plantain chips, called tostones, are a wonderful alternative to potato chips. Green plantains are sliced and fried in oil until a light golden color and soft.
- Jibarito (Plantain Sandwich) This unique sandwich created by Puerto Rican immigrants in Chicago replaces the bread with slices of fried plantain, adding an interesting layer to any sandwich filling.
- Mofongo Stuffing (Green Plantain Turkey Stuffing) Green plantain turkey stuffing, also called mofongo stuffing, is an excellent alternative to the traditional bread and meat stuffing associated with a Thanksgiving turkey.
- Cuban Fufú (Sweet Plantain Stuffing) This Cuban fufú is similar to mofongo stuffing, but the recipe calls for ripe plantains instead of green. The sweet plantains are boiled and mashed and then folded into a mixture of fried bacon, onion, and garlic, making for a sweet yet savory turkey dressing or side dish.
- Cazuela de Camarón (Shrimp in Plantain and Peanut Sauce) In this traditional Ecuadorian recipe, the plantains are blended into a sauce with sautéed vegetables and seasoning, then cooked with some peanut butter, making for a rich and creamy consistency.

- Bakabana (Fried Plantain With Spicy Peanut Sauce) Suriname, a small, South American country on the northeast coast, is home to this simple plantain dish, although its origins are Indonesian.
- Puerto Rican Pasteles. In many Latin cultures, tamales are a Christmas tradition. This Puerto Rican version, called pasteles, is made with plantain masa instead of corn.
