This week, Chef Frances Medina shows Tina Redwine how to make fried plantains. 

Fried Plantains

Green plantains

Garlic

Oil

Remove the whole plantain out of the peel

Cut off the ends

Cut up plantain into one inch wide slices

Place them in about half an inch of oil and fry for about a minute and a half

Remove from oil onto a paper towel and flatten each piece to be about quarter of an inch thick

Place the flattened pieces back in the oil for another 60 seconds

Mince the garlic very finely and brush it onto the double fried plantains
