For one reason or another, I've never tried cooking plantains. I've always zipped right by them at the grocery store. Today I picked a few up and actually cooked them. This is not my recipe--I got it from amazingpaleo.com (I had no idea where to start with plantains!).
2 very ripe plantains
4 TBS coconut oil
sea salt
lime juice
Carefully peel the plantains (you may have to use a knife to start it), being careful not to cut into the actual plantain. Cut into 1 inch rounds. Heat coconut oil over medium heat in a large skillet until hot. Add plantains and cook for 2 minutes on each side, until browned, but not burnt. Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to soak up some of the oil. Take a drinking glass and smash each round down a bit. Sprinkle a little salt on each plantain. Reheat oil and fry again, this time for 1 minute each side. Again, place on paper towels, sprinkle some salt on those suckers and drizzle with fresh lime juice. Enjoy!
