Today would have easily been a lazy Sunday, except that today was also Julnette's bridal shower. A few weeks before we all decided on everyone bringing in one caribbean dish. (Believe it or not, Julnette is Puerto Rican). By the time I read over the list, there was only one item left - fried plantains and sour cream. I wasn't too worried, but couldn't help but wonder why someone would choose to grill chicken kabobs over frying a bunch of bananas.
Now that I have made them, I can atest that this is the easiest dish to prepare AND grabs the most attention at any potluck. However, if you do not have much patience then you just might have a problem.
Ingredients:
6 lbs ripe plantains
2 cups vegetable oil (depending on the width of the pan. just make sure the bananas are halfway submerged)
2 cups sour cream
1. Slice bananas lengthwise into four pieces (first down the middle - repeat)
2. Heat oil in a deep frying pan (medium high)
3. Fry banana on each side until deep brown
4. When done, let the bananas drain on a paper towel
5. Serve with sour cream
