Chips Bananes Plantains
(Plantain Crisps) Recipe

Origin: Senegal      Period: Traditional

This is a Senegalese speciality, a snack sold in bags in many of the shops in Dakar. Basically it's like a crisp (chip) but made from finely-sliced plantains rather than potatoes. To taste authentic it needs to be quite heavily salted.

Ingredients:

3 unripe (or under-ripe) plantains
fine sea salt
oil for deep frying

Chips Bananes Plantains
(Plantain Crisps) Preparation:


Method:

For this dish you really do need under-ripe plantains as they're easier to slice.

Peel the plantains, remove the ends at an angle then slice finely using a medium blade on a mandoline. Toss the plantain slivers with a little sea salt then set aside.

Meanwhile, heat the oil to about 180°C either in a deep fat fryer or a wok then add the plantain slices a few at a time (separating them as you place them in the oil) and fry until crisp and golden (but not blackened).

Drain on kitchen paper then toss with some more sea salt and serve as a snack or as an accompaniment to salads. These plantain chips will keep well in an air-tight tin (and remain crunchy) for several weeks.
