FRIED RIPE PLANTAINS - PLATANOS MADUROS FRITOS
Steps:
- Wash and peel the plantains
- Slice the plantains, the best way to slice them is either diagonally or cut the plantain in half and slice lengthwise. The plantain can also be sliced lengthwise full size, but the smaller diagonal or half slices are easier to manage.
- Heat the oil over medium heat in a large frying pan and add the plantains
- The plantains will cook very quickly, make sure to turn them before they burn and cook until golden on each side. You can use a spatula or a fork to turn them. If the plantain flesh is still pink or white inside it means that it is not yet fully cooked.
- Thicker slices and less ripe plantains will need longer to cook, and maybe more oil.
- Place the cooked plantains on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
- Serve warm
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.

PLATANOS FRITOS (SAUTEED PLANTAINS)
Use the pinton variety of plantain in this recipe (yellow with black spots) as it holds its shaped after cooked. Published in the June 2008 issue of "Cooking Light." I am a big plaintain fan but don't eat them often even though they are very easy to find in grocery stores here in Nebraska because of our Mexican population. This is a simple and easy way to prepare them that doesn't require frying. Posted for ZWT 4 - Central and South America.

PLATANOS MADUROS (COSTA RICAN FRIED RIPE PLANTAINS)
I learned to make these from my friend Adrián Marchena while I spent a semester of college in Puntarenas, Costa Rica. I have not personally made these, but I stood next to him in his kitchen as he gave me step-by-step instructions. These are sweet, and almost dessert-like. You can find plantains in most local supermarkets in the produce section, and they look like bananas, but are more of a vegetable. They are quite frequently eaten by Costa Ricans, or "ticos" with meals that include gallo pinto (rice and black beans) and some meat product. I LOVE these!

Steps:
- Heat vegetable oil in skillet over medium heat.
- Fully peel plantains, and cut them diagonally into approximately 1-inch wide pieces, working your way down the length of the plantain. (NOT length-wise slices).
- Carefully place pieces of plantain in skillet.
- Flipping often, fry plantains until golden brown. The Plantains will be rather mushy - they're supposed to be.
- *They will be sweet - the riper the plantains, the sweeter they will be. (They will NOT taste like patacones, if you've tried those) If you prefer them sweeter, you can sprinkle with sugar before cooking.

FRIED SWEET PLANTAINS, MADUROS FRITOS, PLATANITOS FRITOS
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.
