How to make Fried Plantain Rice:
- To start making this easy recipe for Cuban rice with ripe plantains, the first thing to do is gather all the ingredients we need.
- We put the rice to boil in a pot with a little salt for about 15 minutes, since later it will finish cooking when we fry it.
- While the rice is cooking, cut the ripe plantains into thick pieces and fry them in a pan with plenty of oil or in a deep fryer. If you don’t know how to make fried plantain for rice, we recommend that you use a deep fryer to waste less frying oil.
- Trick: White rice with fried plantains combine flavors very well.
- Also while the rice is cooking, we peel and remove the germ from the garlic. The procedure is very simple: you just have to cut the garlic in half and remove the part in the middle, that is, the germ, carefully so that everything comes out.
- Trick: In this way you will ensure that the garlic does not repeat itself once we have eaten it.
- Once the rice is cooked, drain it with the help of a colander and wash it with cold water so that it is well loose and all the starch from the cooked rice is gone. Then we leave it there to release all the excess water while we do the next step of our rice with fried plantain.
- In a large frying pan, add a little oil and brown the garlic well on all sides so that the oil takes on the flavor of the garlic. This will give a very rich flavor to our Cuban rice with ripe plantain.
- Then we put the drained rice in the pan and fry it for about 5 minutes. We also rectify salt and add it if necessary.
- And to finish we fry an egg and place it on top of rice with fried plantains. As you can see, it is a very easy and quick recipe to make that you can accompany with a light starter such as a cucumber and avocado salad or some fried Gouda cheese balls.
