Plantain chips

Plantain chips:

Get about 4 green plantains, peel them, cut them thinly.

Fry them until golden! 

What to serve with? You can make a guacamole salad:

1avocado 
Cilantro to taste
3 table spoons Onion (white or red) diced 
1 Jalapeño devaines, seedless
3 or 4 radish minced
2 tomatoes diced
2 limes - juice
Sprikle salt to taste


You can alsoget creative and make other dios. These go well with shrimp or any seafood. Remember, the plantains have to be green!

Side story: there are different types of plantains, in different countries they are known by other names other than plantain. Do a little research, its interesting to learn about the diverse amount and cooking uses.

In here you will find I have created other dishes with them: tostones/patacones, used in soups, sancochos, as a desert, and of course as chips! They are healthy!!!

I used to have them as a kid for breakfast, deep fried, sweet plantain with refried beans, cheese fresh from home, and or some fresh "french bread" and coffee (also made from scratch at home).
You might read about that later along with fresh cocoa beans roasting over our "comal" (a clay griddle-closest resemblance).

Oh the stories of the chocolate days and coffee beans roasting! Soon to come! 


What would you eat these with?
Ceviche? Not too shaby! Great combination!!!
