Plaintain is a starchy fruit also called cooking
bananas. Deep-fried Plantains are called Dodo in Nigeria.
Griiled, fried, cooked, baked plantain are great for an apetizer, main
meal, or a dessert. Fried, grilled, boiled, dehydrated and pulverized,
sweet or savory, plantains are a staple of Nigerian cuisine. Dodo, as it
is called in Yoruba, refers to fried sweet plantains. For the plantains
to caramelize properly, use ripe plantains (the skin should be deep
yellow and speckled with large black dots). If you can find only green
plantains, you can seal them in a paper bag and let them ripen for 2 to
3 days. Cooking the plantains in hot oil brings out their caramelized
sweetness, and a quick toss with pickled onions adds an acidic bite.
Enjoy these sweet, tangy morsels on their own, or serve this dish
alongside jollof, plain steamed rice, frejon or plain cooked beans. Dodo
