Ingredients
Printable π¨ shopping π list & π©βπ³ method for this recipe
- 4 ripe yellow plantains, sliced into 1 cm wide wedges
- 1 small red onion chopped
- 1 tablespoon goya adobo with habanero or Adobo without Pepper if you like the less spicy version!
Method
- Heat oil in pan until quite hot. Add plantains and onions at the same time.
- Do not stir. Let cook for at least one minute before flipping the plantains and onions.
- Now let sit again without flipping for at least one minute...this browns the sides of each plantain slice, giving it a toasty edge and firming up the shape for the stirring part.
- Now reduce the heat and stir softly until all the flavours are well blended.
Serving suggestions
Serve on a bed of lettuce or as a side dish to any savoury meat or fish dish.
Variations
You can add scallions (green onion) peppers or chorizo, ham & sausage to take this dish to new heights!
