Frying Plantain
Catch up with Eastvale Team Realtor, Sarah Oswald today in her kitchen today, frying a plantain. Here is a look at the final product:
Fried Plantains
These do not taste anything like a banana. Trust me. They only look like one. They taste more like a yam with a delightful crunch to them when fried just right like these were.

Sarah it said that the video is private. But I will say that I am a big fan of Plaintain. Love it. So I definitely know what you are talking about.

Sometimes we use it with eggs and bacon for breakfast or fried to a crisp a good standin for frenchfries.

Hi Lanre - Sorry about that...it is corrected. I have never been a huge fan of banana. I actually get physically ill due to the aroma. But plantain is delicious. My niece introduced me to it about 2 weeks ago and it was a challenge to myself to try something new. (S)
Hi Michele - I am tempted to fry it to a crisp the next time around. I am wondering if I should have waited till the plantain riped a little bit more? (S)
My wife enjoys plantains. I can take them or leave them!

Sarah & Les- when I was in graduate school in Houston, one of my fellow students was from Columbia. We drove all over town once trying to find her some plantains. We found them, she prepared some for me and I still love eating them.

Sarah I love plaintain and I made some today. Nice video.
If you use a knive to score the plantain the skin will come off much easier.

Fred,
Plantains are not what I thouht they would be. Something new and surprising.
Kathy,
We have always seen them in the supermarket and had no idea what they were good for until our niece suggested them. Surprising outcome for us is that they did taste great.
Hi Sarah -- I love plantains but never attempted to try preparing them at home. Bookmarking your post so when the time and inspiration comes to me, I can attempt.

Michael, I am ashamed to say that I never even heard of it till a couple of weeks ago. I been deprived. (S)
Joan, please do! And you will have to agree I am sure that they taste great.
Jennifer, Thanks for the advise and for your kind comments. Have a great day.
Bob, I agree! It is surprising how they taste given their shape and appearance. Thanks for the compliment on the video.
