Dinner tonight! Had 2 plantains. Neither was ripe enough to be made into maduros, both were too ripe for tostones so I peeled them and sliced them thin and fried them til crispy. Served them with spiced black beans, white rice and a sauce made with orange juice, lime juice, garlic and salt. So tasty!

Sorry, I think I missed this post a day or so ago. What oil/fat did you fry the platanos in? I've eaten them but never cooked them. I do make moros & cristianos - I think at first I fell in love with the name! The last time I made them they were to accompany a pork tenderloin cuban style (orange & lime juices, oregano and garlic. Grilled & served with Barb Schaller's cherry jam made into a chipotle/lime glaze. Lyann from Fargo

I just fried them up in canola oil. I like to fry them until they are very very dark.
