Plantains are not often found in supermarkets but you can get them in West-Indian or African shops. We often use these crispy fried slices as a tasty garnish for soups and casseroles. They are also good with crudités, dips, and chilli sauces.
Ingredients
- plantains
2 - plain flour
- vegetable oil, for deep-frying
- sea salt, to serve
Method
- Cut the plantains into slices 3–5mm (⅛-¼in) thick.
- Put some flour in a shallow bowl. Dip the plantain slices in the flour and reserve them on a plate.
- Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan until almost smoking. Drop in the plantain slices in small batches at a time, and deep-fry for 3–4 minutes, until golden brown.
- Place the chips on kitchen paper
