 |
| 1. This is a green plantain. You'll find it in the produce section of your local supermarket. I usually boil it like a potato and have it with salads and meat. Today I'll fry it. |
 |
| 2. Cut off each end of the plantain as shown. |
 |
| 3. To peel it, make two or three vertical slits along the plantain as shown. |
 |
| 4. With your fingernails, try to lift off the peel along the slits. |
 |
| 5. The plantain will look as above once it's completely peeled off. |
 |
| 6. You may cut the plantain two different ways. (a). Cut it in little round sections |
 |
7. (b). Cut it in little oval sections. The smaller the pieces, the crispier the plantain will get after you flatten it. Heat up your oil. Once your oil is very hot, drop the pieces of plantain in it. |
 |
| 8. Your plantains are ready when they're golden and light. Sometimes, they would rise to the surface of the frying oil. |
 |
| 9. This is called a 'pèz banann'. I bought it from a local Hispanic grocery store in Miami, Fl. Once you take your plantain out of the frying oil, you'll set it in bowl or plate. You will then use the 'pèz banann' to flatten your fried plantains. If you do not have a 'pèz banann', use two flat dishes (any flat plate will do.) Make sure you wet the surface of the plate so that when you flatten the fried plantains they would not get stuck to the plate. |
 |
| 10. Your fried plantains will look as shown after you flatten them with your flat 'plates'. Keep your frying oil hot as you are getting ready to fry your plantains again. |
 |
| 11. Dip your now flat plantains into a mixture of water, salt, and vinegar just before you fry them. Do this one by one. Each "flat" plantain that is dipped in the water-salt-vinegar solution is immediately dropped into the hot frying oil. Be careful as the oil will sizzle. Stand a good distance away from the flying dropplets of oil. |
 |
| 12. Your fried plantain is ready when it is crispy. |
 |
| 14. Add your favorite sauce over your fried fish and plantains and, |
It is a dialect spoken by millions of people throughout the world (Haiti, Martinique, Guyana, Guadeloupe, Seychelles, etc...)
I think one learns a language to communicate, not because of the language's status.
