Recipe

Ingredients

•2 large semi-ripe plantains
•coconut oil, or lard
•1/2 white onion
•sea salt, to taste
•1 cup arugula
•1/2 cup fresh parsley
•fresh cilantro
•2 cloves garlic
•1 lime
•1 large ripe avocado
•2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1.Leave the peels on your plantains and slice them into thick 2-inch chunks. Score the peel vertically on one side of each piece, then easily strip it off.
2.Heat your cooking fat in a large skillet over medium-high until hot. Use a slotted spoon to gently lower the plantain chunks into the oil and fry until just lightly golden on each side. Move to a plate to cool.
3.While they cool, mince your white onion, mash your avocado with lime juice, cilantro, garlic, salt, and vinegar to create your fresh guacamole.
4.Once the fried plantain chunks are cool enough to handle, use the flat bottom of a glass or a sturdy spatula to smash down on each chunk until it flattens into a thick patty.
5.Return the smashed patties back into the hot oil for round two! Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until deeply golden brown and incredibly crispy.
6.Drain on paper towels, dust immediately with sea salt, and serve hot piled high with fresh arugula, your homemade guacamole, and fresh parsley.
