This easy dish the perfect introduction to plantains, though it also works well with a green or slightly underripe banana is delicious alongside chicken or fish. Peel and slice the plantains on the diagonal about 7 to 8 mm thick. Heat 1 tb of oil and a knob of butter in a wide frying pan over a medium heat. Fry a batch of plantain slices in a single layer for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown. Watch them carefully and turn often, because they burn easily. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper, then fry the rest. Return all the plantain to the pan with another knob of butter, the garlic, some chilli flakes or cayenne, and plenty of salt and pepper. Cook for 1 or 2 minutes, tossing the lot together, and serve hot, with a squeeze of lemon, if you like. Recipe FROM: MMMMM .
