Sierra Leonean Fried Plantains

Description

This is enjoyed in Sierra Leone and most of the rest of Africa!

Ingredients

• 3 - 4 plantains
• oil

Procedures

1. Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan.
2. Slice the peeled plantains into ¼-inch rounds.
3. Fry the slices a few at a time until they are golden and crisp on the outside but still soft on the inside.
4. If fried too long, the inside will toughen, so try a couple to get the best timing.
5. Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels or newspaper.
