Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Plantains

    Peel the ripe plantains and slice them diagonally into 1/2 inch thick pieces.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Peppers

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced red and green bell peppers and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

  3. 3

    Add Ginger and Plantains

    Add the minced ginger to the bell peppers and stir for an additional minute. Then, add the sliced plantains to the skillet.

  4. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Sprinkle in salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir gently to coat the plantains and peppers evenly with the spices.

  5. 5

    Cook Until Golden

    Continue to cook for about 8-10 minutes, flipping the plantains occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and serve warm.
