PLANTAIN FRITTERS (ARANITAS)
Steps:
- Heat 2-inches of oil to 350 degrees F in a heavy skillet or deep pot over medium-high heat. Line a plate with paper towels and set aside.
- While the oil warms, place the garlic cloves on a cutting board. Slice the cloves in half lengthwise and then smash with the side of a chef's knife. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the garlic and chop and smear the garlic against the cutting board until it makes a paste.
- Place the grated plantains, garlic paste, and pepper in a large bowl and mix until combined. Using 2 tablespoons scoop out some of the mixture and press it flat with the back of the other spoon. Gently slide it in the hot oil, adding enough balls to fill the pan without overcrowding it. Fry until golden, for 4 to 5 minutes on each side (if the fritters get dark too quickly, lower the temperature of the oil). Using a slotted spoon or frying spider, transfer the aranitas to the paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with some more salt and the cilantro and serve warm.

[email protected]I had a hard time finding ripe plantains at my local grocery store. I ended up using green plantains, and the fritters were a bit too dense.

[email protected]These fritters were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if I had used less sugar in the batter.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly, and the fritters turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with a dipping sauce made of sour cream, cilantro, and lime juice.
