Fried Plantain Platter

A delicious and simple appetizer.
This is a great prelude to my jambalya.

Ingredients:
  • 2 green plantains
  • 1 yellow plantain
  • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic, minced
  • cayenne pepper
  • olive oil for frying

Directions:

Slice one green plantain into wafer thin rounds and fry until golden.
Coarsely grate the second green plantain and stir fry with sliced onion until golden.
Cut yellow plantain into 1/2 inch cubes and sprinkle with cayenne pepper. Fry with minced garlic until brown.
Arrange three styles of fried plantain on a serving platter and serve immediately.
