Amarillos/Maduros is another name for ripe plantains. They aren't necessarily Cuban as all Carribeans have a recipe for them. Select plantains that are very yellow, almost orange in color with black spots - these are very ripe. Peel and slice ripened plantain in half. Slice each half lengthwise into 4 slices lengthwise. Fry each slice in vegetable oil over medium heat until tender and brown turning only once.
DO NOT cook overripe/black plantains as they will be too soft and will be more like pudding since they won't hold thier shape when frying.

Cuban Style Chicken Ingredients: 1-1/2 lbs boneless chicken -- 3/4" thick pieces Fresh ground pepper to taste 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 cup chopped onion -- chopped 1/2 cup green pepper -- chopped 1 jalapeno pepper -- chopped 1 large garlic clove -- minced 1 teaspoon cumin -- ground 1 medium tomato -- peeled and chopped 1 tablespoon lemon juice 15 ounce can black beans Preparation: Sprinkle chicken with freshly ground pepper to taste. In a 12-inch skillet, sauté chicken in olive oil about three minutes on each side, remove from pan. Add the onion, green pepper, jalapeno pepper and garlic to bottom of pan without wiping out, so as to deglaze. Cook 2 minutes, or until onions are softened. Stir in cumin, tomatoes, lemon juice and black beans. Return chicken to pan, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Remove lid and continue to cook until chicken is cooked, about 10 minutes. Serve with rice. **************************************... Pollo en Salsa de Frijoles (Chicken in Black Bean Sauce) 4 chicken thighs and 4 legs 1 large can of black beans 1/2 cup of sofrito casero (onion, bell pepper, cilantro and garlic blended together) Salt and pepper to taste 1/2 teaspoon of cumin 1 tablespoon of oregano 1 teaspoon of apple cidar vinegar 1/2 can of tomato sauce Wash and season chicken with salt and pepper and set aside. In a deep cast iron skillet, add olive oil and saute the sofrito for a minute. Add cumin, oregano and tomato sauce and mix around. Add beans and mix well. Add 1 cup of broth and mix. Let cook for 10 minutes. Finally add apple cidar vinegar and mix and cook another 3 mins. Add chicken one at a time and submerge completely in sauce and cook for another 35-40 minutes. Let sit for a few minutes before serving over white rice. The chicken will taste better if marinated overnight. **************************************... Platanos en Tentacion This recipe yields enough for 6 servings. Choose plantains that are VERY ripe. By this I mean so ripe that most people would be tempted to throw them away! The blacker the skin (sometimes even with a whitish cast to it) the sweeter the plantain. 3 very ripe plantains 1/3 cup white sugar 1/3 cup brown sugar 3 Tbsp dry white wine 2 short cinnamon sticks 1/8 tsp powdered cinnamon 3 Tbsp butter Preheat oven to 375 F. Butter (or spray) a glass pyrex dish. Peel the plantains and place in the dish. Sprinkle half the sugar over them. Add the dry wine and stick little pieces of the cinnamon sticks into the plantains. Sprinkle with the rest of the sugar and the powdered cinnamon. Cut the butter in little pieces and dot over the plantains. Bake for approximately one hour. This is a side dish, not dessert. It is very good served along with a roast and fluffy white rice.
