Amarillos

















Ingredients
4 cups vegtable oil
4 ripe plantains, peeled and cut on the bias into 1/2-inch thick slices
Directions
Heat oil to 365 degrees F in a heavy medium saucepan. Carefully add the plantains, in batches as necessary, and fry until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Immediately sprinkle with salt and cilantro, if desired

Tip:
Amarillos is another name for ripe plantains. Select plantains that are very yellow, almost orange in color with black spots - these are very ripe.
