serve fried bananas with rice,
picadillo
and fried eggs .
The skin of the half ripe plantain
is yellow, whereas the ripe ones are
brown. They also are cut into 4 or 5
sections and partially fried in fat which
is not very hot. When they begin to
soften they are removed from the frying
pan and, • placing each piece in a raw
banana skin, are flattened by a r ather
£.rm pressure of the hand - (the skin
protecting the hand from the heat) –
Once flattened, they are returned to
the frying pan to brown. This time the
fat must be hot -not so hot that it will
burn, however.
