Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
Fried Plantain:
  1. Peel the plantains and chop them into diagonal pieces.
  2. Heat oil in a deep pan. Put the chopped plantain into a fryer basket and lower into the oil. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Then take them out and remove excess oil. Take each piece of the fried plantain, smash it with a heavy object like a glass or bowl till it has flattened. Sprinkle some water and salt on each piece, or dip it in a bowl of salted water.
  4. Place the plantains back into the basket and deep fry again. It should get a nice deep brown coating. Take it out and drain the excess oil.
  5. Place it in a serving platter.
Fried Malanga:
  1. Peel and grate the malanga and place in a blender.
  2. To the blender add some garlic, salt and scotch bonnet pepper.
  3. Blend it.
  4. Place in a parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This is because the malanga does have a lot of water and this will help it firm up for frying.
  5. Now roll the malanga paste into balls.
  6. Place in a frying basket and deep fry.
  7. Take it out, drain the excess oil.
  8. Place along with the fried plantain on the serving platter.
Fried Pork:
  1. Clean the pork with lemon and water and set aside.
  2. Marinate the pork in Epis, cloves, thyme, garlic, onion, shallots, scallions, salt, pepper and some sour orange juice for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Then add the marinated pork to a pan and add 1 cup of water.
  4. Cover the pan and cook the pork for about 45 minutes.
  5. Take it off heat and remove just the cooked pieces of pork.
  6. Place it in the frying basket and deep fry.
  7. Drain the excess oil and add the serving platter.
  8. Serve the Simple & Scrumptious Haitian Fritay with traditional pikliz.
