Banan Pese in Haiti

Serves 2-4

Directions

1. Peel the plantains and cut them in more or less big chunks (depending on the diameter of banan pese that you want to obtain)

2. Fry the pieces of plantain in hot oil for 5 minutes on each side or until lightly brown; then remove the plantains and place them on paper towels to remove excess oil.

3. Mix hot water and salt.

4. Flatten the plantain chunks using either a plantain smasher or a rolling pin, soak them in the water-salt mixture for 2-3 seconds and reserve for a few minutes.

5. Fry the flattened plantains until crispy and golden brown; place on paper towels (again) to remove excess oil.
