Pan Fried Plantain With Crumbled Feta
- 1 large ripe plantain
- 6-8 teaspoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- Fresh cracked pepper
- Honey (optional)
- Cut the unpeeled plantain into 4 pieces (of about 1.5 inches long)
- pour about 1/2 inch of water in a pan. Place the plantains on a steamer over the water. Cover and steam for 10 minutes until the plantains turn a bright yellow and begin to ease out from the peels.
- remove from steamer, allow to cool slightly and peel the fruit. In a non stick pan, add about 1 -2 teaspoons of the melted butter.Place one piece of fruit on the pan and using your spatula, press down gently with your fingers (Take care to keep your wrists away from the edge of the frying pan). Fry for about 4 minutes before flipping the 'patty' over for the other side to brown.
- Transfer the pieces, to a serving dish, sprinkle some freshly cracked peppercorn, drizzle with honey depending upon your preference and add the Feta cheese over. Serve warm . (the plantains tend to get tough once cooled)
