      Title: Fried Sweet Plantains
 Categories: Appetizers, Dips
      Yield: 8 Servings

      4    Ripe (yellow black) plantain
           Salt and pepper; to taste
    1/4 c  Vegetable oil

  To prepare plantains this way, they have to be dead ripe. If only
  green ones are available, you should use the the method for
  Deep-Fried Plantain Rounds. Either way is fine. You will find that
  this preparation results in plantains that are a bit more floppy
  than the chips made from the green variety, so I suggest you spoon
  the dip onto them and eat them with a fork.

  Peel plantains and cut on a severe slant into 1/2" slices. In a
  large saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat until hot but not
  smoking. Add as many plantain slices as will fit easily in a single
  layer, and fry until just lightly browned, about 1 minute per side.
  As they brown, remove them to paper towels to drain, then sprinkle
  well with salt and pepper. Repeat until all the plantain slices are
  fried.
