Description

I hope you found some inspiration in this list of Puerto Rican recipes! While this isn’t a complete list, I think it captures just how special the cuisine really is. If you make a recipe please reach out on Instagram or leave a comment below and let me know what you think!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 brown plantains
  • 1 cup vegetable or canola oil


Instructions

  1. Start by peeling your plantains and cutting diagonally into 1 inch sections. Preheat your oil in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat.
  2. Once the oil is hot, gently add in your plantain chunks, making sure not to crowd the pan too much. Your pan should have enough oil to almost cover the slices, so add more if needed. Fry the slices for 5-8 minutes, making sure to flip them every few minutes until golden brown all around.
  3. Remove the slices and cool on a paper towel lined plate. Enjoy!
