Do you know how to peel a GREEN plantain?

Question

I hear that people prefer to eat fried plantains in the restaurant because they do not know how to peel a plantain, Is that true?

You are not suppose to lose any meat of the plaintain,when you peel. That actually proves that you don't know how to peel. lol

Answer 1

That's true. And there is a trick to deep frying them crisp that I haven't mastered. But the mushy fried ones are good too, especially when sprinkled with cinnamon.

I know they use the grill to fry the big slices for Jibarritos, but haven't actually watched it done.

To peel a green plantain, use a serrated knife and be prepared to lose some of the meat. Sometimes you can slice it all the way down, but most times you'll be sawing off 4 inch sections. It's ok. They're big and they're filling and that makes them worth the trouble.

Edit: I can usually skin the ripe ones clean. But I always lose part of the green ones.

Piononos. U have 2use ripe (yellow) platanos. Peel them and chop up them lengthwise, no longer each and each of how by way of. Open the platano (do no longer separate it) and place decrease element down on a baking sheet that has been coated (do no longer drown them)with olive oil. Brush some olive oil on the element it somewhat is dealing with up besides. Bake in oven on 350 for 10 to fifteen minutes counting on how ripe your platanos have been. whilst they're achieved they are going to look translucent like the oil soaked in. get rid of from the oven and place the platanos in tin foil and push the factors back at the same time. Stuff with floor beef or beef that has been cooked (guisado) with olives, eco-friendly peppers, garlic and diced tomatoes (upload cilantrillo, sofrito y sazon for flavoring and shade). Wrap the foil around the platano like it advance into the exterior so as that it holds the full element at the same time and bake interior the oven back on 350 for yet another 20 minutes. whilst this is achieved, mmmm, mmmm, mmm que rico. :) Buen provecho
