SWEET
FRIED PLANTAINS

2-3
very ripe plantains peeled and sliced

1/4
cup cold butter divided into 4 cubes

PREP
TIME: 5
min COOK TIME: 10 min TOTAL TIME: 15 min

◈ Heat a large skillet over
medium heat, then add 1 cube of cold butter.

◈ When the butter starts to
melt add the plantains – be sure to not crowd the pan.

◈ Add another cube of butter,
and let the plantains fry in the butter for about 3

minutes,
or until they are golden.

◈ When the plantains are
golden, flip them using a pair of tongs so they can fry

on
the other side and add another cube of cold butter and fry.

◈ Add the last bit of butter
and let the plantains fry until they are golden and

nicely
caramelized.

◈ When the plantains are
golden, remove them from the pan using a pair of

tongs,
and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to cool.

Serve and Enjoy!

TIP:
To make fried sweet plantains, the plantains need to be very ripe,
meaning

mostly
black like in the image below. If they are still green, or just yellow, the

plantains
will not be sweet after you fry them. You’ll need to wait for the

green/yellow
plantains to ripen, or turn black, sitting on your counter several days

before
you can make sweet plantains.

UPDATE

Like
the entire hospitality industry, A Cut Above suffered significantly as a result
of COVID –

19,
with a loss of $750,000. in booked events, not to mention an 85% decrease in
projected

revenue
for the rest of 2020. But, true to form, Chef Amy has risen to the occasion,
leading

the
cause to Feed the Frontliners with Carmel Cares at local hospitals and health
care

facilities,
while assisting other local small businesses through the pandemic and guiding

numerous
brave couples who are still moving forward with plans for their wedding day!
This

past
week, thanks to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) offered by the CARES Act
and

through
the leadership of Governor Holcomb’s Back on Track Indiana Plan, A Cut Above

was
able to bring back its entire staff who had been furloughed in order to begin
the process

of
rebuilding. Fully compliant with all COVID-19 recommendations, A Cut Above is

optimistic about leading the way to a “new normal”.
