Maduros (plantain)

Step 1

Heat approximately 1/4" oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Peel the plantain, and cut at an angle, making slices about 3/4" thick.

Step 3

Brown plantain in oil, approximately 2 minutes a side, or until both sides are brown.

Step 4

When browned, remove from skillet and place on a paper towel covered plate to drain the excess oil off.

Step 5

Serve hot.

Step 6

The traditional way is to serve plain, but I like to sprinkle them with a little bit of salt for a nice, salty sweet taste.
