MADUROS (FRIED SWEET PLANTAINS)
Tender in the middle and crisp at the edges, maduros, or sweet fried plantains, are served as a side dish throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Plantains change color as they ripen: They are firm when green and unripe, then soften as they turn yellow, and eventually, black. Like bananas, plantains develop more sugar as time passes. For the sweetest maduros, use blackened plantains - they have the most sugar, and will yield a more caramelized result. If you can only find yellow ones at the store, buy them in advance and be prepared to wait over a week for them to fully ripen. They're worth it.

Steps:
- Use a paring knife to cut a slit along the length of the plantains, carefully avoiding cutting into the flesh. Remove peels and discard. Slice plantains at an angle crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces (about 12 pieces per plantain).
- In a large skillet, heat about 1/8 inch vegetable oil over medium-high. When the oil shimmers, add half the sliced plantains and fry until golden brown, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes per side. The plantains should be caramelized and slightly crisp at the edges but still tender in the middle.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer maduros to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining sliced plantains. Serve immediately.

These plantains are fried semi-ripe and served along any main dish. They are are served as a typical side dish just as you would serve fried potatoes. The plantains should be yellow with dark black spots on them. They should be firm to the touch but give a little when you press on down on them. They are sweet and delicious....

Steps:
- 1. Pick two or three large yellow semi-ripe plantains. Cut the ends of with a sharp knife. With a knife take the tip and run down the seams of the plantain. Then peel away the peel like if you were peeling a ripe banana. Cut in angular chunks or slices about 1/2 inch thick but at an angle.
- 2. Heat oil in a cast iron skillet or heavy skillet. When oil is shimmering add the plantain chunks or slices and brown on each side. The plantains will cook fast. About two minutes each; watch them closely they will burn fast because of the sugar content of the plaintain. Remove to a paper towel lined plate salt a little as if salting fried potatoes and serve with your meal. Enjoy
- 3. I sliced mine in chunks at an angle pictured above. I left two plantains so you could see the color on a semi-ripe plantain. You can fry as many as you want. One plantain will yeild about four to five pieces. So one plantain will serve one or two persons depending on how many pieces you want to serve that person. I figure for a family of four I fry up about three plantains.
