10527 Sautéed Plantains 15 mins 15 mins 8 servings Mon Oct 15 05:30:00 -0700 2007 Fri Nov 07 11:25:05 -0800 2008 Medium Cuban CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/10527 Fri, 07 Nov 2008 19:25:05 GMT Sweet and savory A sweet and savory dish perfect for warm weather (or when you just need to feel a little tropical). Randy Zweiban of Chicago’s Nacional 27 gave us this recipe as a part of his Cuban Christmas feast that he made for us last year. But don’t wait for a special occasion to make this dish, because it’s great anytime.

What to buy: Look for plantains that are well-mottled or all black on the outside. They’re much sweeter that way.

  • Peel plantains and quarter lengthwise so you have 4 long pieces. Slice the eight strips of plantain into about 8 pieces each.
  • In a medium fry pan over medium heat, melt the butter. When it starts to foam, add the plantains.
  • Sauté the plantains until the edges are golden. Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove them to a paper towel to drain.
