Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

• 4 ripe yellow plantains, sliced into 1 cm wide wedges
• 1 small red onion chopped
• 1 tablespoon goya adobo with habanero or Adobo without Pepper if you like the less spicy version!

Method

1. Heat oil in pan until quite hot. Add plantains and onions at the same time.
2. Do not stir. Let cook for at least one minute before flipping the plantains and onions.
3. Now let sit again without flipping for at least one minute...this browns the sides of each plantain slice, giving it a toasty edge and firming up the shape for the stirring part.
4. Now reduce the heat and stir softly until all the flavours are well blended.

Serving suggestions

Serve on a bed of lettuce or as a side dish to any savoury meat or fish dish.

Variations

You can add scallions (green onion) peppers or chorizo, ham & sausage to take this dish to new heights!
