Steps:

• Cut ends from plantains and peel fruit. Diagonally cut plantains into 1/2-inch-thick slices. In a large nonstick skillet heat 1/3 cup oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté plantains in batches, without crowding, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes on each side, adding more oil to skillet as necessary. With a spatula transfer plantains as sautéed to paper towels to drain and season with salt if desired.
• Serve plantains immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place plantains and salt into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until plantains turn a darker yellow; add 1 cup water to the pot, bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.
• Mash plantains, milk, and butter together in the pot until smooth.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ground beef, onion, bell pepper, tomato sauce, garlic, and chicken bouillon, adding water if mixture gets too dry, in hot oil until beef is browned and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Spread 1/2 of the mashed plantains into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour meat mixture over the plantains and top with Cheddar cheese. Spread remaining mashed plantains over the cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until plantains are golden and filling is bubbling, about 10 minutes.

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.

Steps:

• Heat approximately 1/4 inch of oil, or just enough for plantain slices to be halfway submerged, in a medium skillet over medium heat.
• Cut off the ends of the plantains. Slit the skin of each plantain by running the tip of your knife from one end of the "rib" to the other; peel the skin. Cut at an angle, making slices that are about 3/4-inch thick.
• Brown plantain slices in the hot oil until brown, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-covered plate to drain off excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while still moist.

Steps:

• Peal and slice the plantains, fry them until brown, drain on a paper towel. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl using a fork or potato masher mash the plantains until smooth and thick. Devide the mixture in half. Lightly oil a 2 1/2 quart baking dish and place half of the plantain mixturespreading it evenly and patting it down with your fingers. Spread the picadillo on top and cover with the remaining plantains. Cover loosely with aluminum foil, banke on the middle rack for 20 minutes, then remove the foil, brush the top with the beaten egg and bake another 20 minutes. Serve hot
