Plantains, 2
Coconut oil, 5-6 tablespoons
Fresh cilantro, about 30 leaves
Pineapple chunks, about 1 cup (I used canned.)
Red onion, ¼ cup chopped
Avocado, 1
- Peel the plantains. Cut into slices about 1/4 inch thick
- Squish each slice slightly to flatten. (I just place them on the cutting board, put a glass on top and squish.)
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of coconut oil to the pan. Turn heat to medium/high and let oil get hot.
- Add plantains. Cook for about 90 seconds to 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. You may need to cook in 2-3 batches, depending on the size of your pan. Be sure to add more oil each time.
- Remove from pan and place on paper towel.
- Set up your preparation station. Cut avocado into chunks. Have chopped onion, pineapple and cilantro leaves ready.
- Place fried plantains on serving plate. Top with avocado, a few bits of onion, a piece of pineapple and a cilantro leaf. Secure with a toothpick to keep them from sliding apart.
- Serve and convert some skeptical friends to the paleo way.
This recipe makes about 30+ little pieces.
