SWEET PLANTAIN FRITTERS
In this 2001 film, a group of Filipino-American college friends get together to eat and share stories about their loves and lives. Their experiences of assimilating to American society vary, but all of the characters recognize their need for the comfort derived from friendship and familiar foods. For this dish, be sure your plaintains are completely black, since the fruit becomes sweeter as it ripens. (Yellow or mottled brown plantains are very starchy and usually take about a week to fully ripen.) Serve these fritters as a snackor pair them with ice cream for a delicious dessert.

MOSA (PLANTAIN FRITTERS)
The best qualities of very ripe plantains are revealed under high heat - their sugars caramelize, making each bite sweet and creating contrasting crisp and tender textures. In these fritters, mashed ripe plantains, from fruit with all-black peels, are folded into an aromatic batter with cornmeal for a thrilling crunch and sour cream for a pillowy tenderness. A great snack or addition to any meal, they're also delicious on their own, but can be served with a garlicky fry sauce for dipping if you'd like.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Cut off the ends of each plantain. Use a sharp knife to slice the peel along the length of each plantain without cutting into the flesh. Remove peels and discard. Slice plantains crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Using a mortar and pestle or a food processor, pound or pulse the plantains into a coarse purée. Avoid making the purée too smooth, especially if using a food processor.
- Set aside 1/4 cup scallions for garnish. Stir or pulse the remaining 1/4 cup scallions, the garlic, ginger and Scotch bonnet pepper into the purée in the mortar or processor. Add the purée to the cornmeal mixture, and stir until the batter is just combined and resembles a shaggy dough. Fold in the sour cream.
- Line a sheet pan with paper towels or set a wire rack in the pan. Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in a medium saucepan or deep skillet over medium-high to 325 degrees. If you don't have a deep-fry thermometer, test the oil temperature by lowering a pea-size drop of batter into the oil. Bubbles should form around the batter, and the drop should float to the surface.
- Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, use a small dessert spoon to drop heaping teaspoon-size portions of the batter into the hot oil and fry, turning frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. The batter should not darken too quickly or take too long to cook through, so maintain the oil temperature by raising or lowering the heat as needed. Transfer the mosas to the paper towels or rack using a slotted spoon or tongs. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm, garnished with the remaining scallions, with fry sauce alongside.
PINEAPPLE FRITTERS
Steps:
- Note: batter needs to sit for a day in the refrigerator before cooking Place the flour, sugar, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Separate the eggs. Make a well in the ingredients and place the egg yolks in the well. Mix, adding the water and, gradually, the milk. Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks and gently fold them into the mixture. Add the lemon zest and the nutmeg, stirring to mix them in. Cover the bowl with a damp clean dish towel and place it in the refrigerator for a day.
- When ready to prepare the fritters, heat the oil to 375 degrees in a heavy Dutch oven or deep fryer. Peel the pineapple, core and cut into 1-inch pieces. With tongs, dip the pieces into the batter and fry them until they are golden brown on each side. Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and let them drain on absorbent paper. Place them on a serving platter and sprinkle them with both the confectioners' sugar and cinnamon by placing them into a small sieve and shaking it over the fritters. Serve warm

These golden brown plantain fritters are a favorite in West Africa, where my aunt served as a missionary for 45 years. Make sure the plantains are very ripe, or substitute bananas instead. -Heather Ewald, Bothell, Washington

Tips:
- Selecting ripe plantains is key to achieving the perfect balance of sweetness and texture. Look for plantains with a bright yellow or black skin, as these are at their peak ripeness.
- Before frying the fritters, ensure the oil is at the right temperature. To test this, drop a small piece of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the surface quickly, the oil is ready.
- To save time, you can grate the plantains using a food processor or a box grater. This will also help achieve a consistent texture in the fritters.
- For a sweeter flavor, use ripe pineapples. If using canned pineapple, drain it thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar or honey in the batter according to your preference for sweetness.
- Garnish the fritters with powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
Conclusion:
Pineapple-plantain fritters are a delightful fusion of sweet and savory flavors that offer a unique taste experience.
