Zubereitung von Garlic Plantains
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup water, 4 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a large skillet or saucepan to 325°F (160°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
- Peel 3 ripe plantains and slice them into 1-inch thick rounds.
- Carefully add the plantain slices to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 1-1.5 minutes per side, until lightly golden.
- Remove the plantains with a slotted spoon and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Gently press each plantain round with the back of a wide spatula or spoon to flatten them to about half their original thickness.
- Submerge the flattened plantains in the garlic water for 1 minute.
- Remove the plantains and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Increase the oil temperature back to 325°F (160°C). Return the plantains to the hot oil and fry for 2-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the plantains from the oil and place them on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Sprinkle generously with salt while still warm and serve immediately. Enjoy!
