Dodo (Fried Plantains)

Ingredients

• •A few ripe plantains
• •Some vegetable oil

Directions

1. 1Put oil into a frying pan or a saucepan, about ½ inch high, and place on fire on low heat.
2. 2In a bowl or plate, slice or dice each plantain as follows: for larger slices, slice the plantains either vertically, or diagonally, so that each slice is about ¼ inch thick.
3. 3For smaller pieces, cut the plantain into two of four parts longitudinally, and then slice vertically.
4. 4Place the cut pieces into the hot oil, spreading over the bottom of the pan.
5. 5Turn over when the bottom sides are golden brown in color.
6. 6Let the other side get brown to the same consistency as the first side.
7. 7Remove using a spatula or large spoon.
8. 8Depending on the ripeness of the plantain, you may want to put the fried plantains on some napkins first to soak up some of the excess oil.
