PLANTAIN SALAD IMOYO
Imoyo dishes combine West African and Brazilian cusine. In the 15th Century, the Portugese slave trade took many West Africans to Brazil. In the 19th Century, some freed slaves returned and settled on the coast of Nigeria, bringing with them green peppers, olive oil and garlic. This salad is typical of this tradition--and quite delicious.

Steps:
- Peel the plantains by cutting through the peel lengthwise and sliding your fingers under the skin to pull it off.
- Place the whole plantains in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover; bring to a boil and simmer for about ten minutes or until plantains are soft enough to pierce with a fork (If you use ripe ones which have gone yellow and are developing black spots, 10 minutes will be fine--the green ones will take longer and won't taste as good).
- Drain the plantains and set aside to cool.
- While the plantains are cooking, peel and seed the green pepper and slice it into long thin slices.
- Seed and chop the red pepper.
- Peel, seed and dice the cucumber and place in a bowl with the peppers.
- Whisk the oil, lime juice, salt and pepper, and garlic (if you are using it--I like it) together until creamy; this will take a couple of minutes.
- Slice the cooled plantains on the diagonal into 1/2" pieces and add to the vegetables in the bowl.
- Pour the marinade over and mix well.
- Serve at room temperature.
- Note: This salad is best if made an hour or so in advance so the flavors can 'marry' -- I find it needs more salt and pepper at the table--a matter of taste.

FRIED PLANTAIN SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY
This isn't just any date night salad. Tayo kicks it up a notch by frying up sweet plantains to add crunch and an unexpected twist, then pairs them with peppery arugula, creamy avocado, salty pistachios, and a simple honey Dijon dressing to bring it all together.

Steps:
- Trim the ends of the plantain, then peel and slice on the bias into ½-inch (1.24) pieces.
- In a large skillet, heat about ⅛ inch (3 mm) canola oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the plantains and fry until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
- Remove all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the skillet. Add the onion and red bell pepper and cook until they are slightly softened, but still have some crunch, 3-4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Make the honey dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon, and salt. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the oil until the dressing is emulsified.
- When ready to serve, divide the arugula between 2 bowls. Top with the sautéed peppers and onions, fried plantains, sliced avocado, green onions, pistachios, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the salad.
- Enjoy!
