Day 5

Today I asked the cook if he would teach me a Venezuelan recipe to being home to America. He happily showed me how to make Platanos Fritos. Here is the recipe.
Ingredients

2 plantains, yellow with some black spots
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions
1Peel plantains; cut each into thirds crosswise. Cut each piece into 4 (2-inch) lengthwise slices.
2Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add plantains to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Transfer plantains to a plate; sprinkle with salt.

Even though the plantains looked slightly like bananas they tasted more like ginger. They were an extravagant meal.
