If I could dip all my food into a piping hot pot of oil and not die by the time I was 37, I think I would. When I refabbed my house I actually had multiple internal discussions with myself about embedding a fry-daddy right into the counter top. Eventhough I would have had a great chance to perfect my dream latenight creation, the deep fried sandwich, it would have been a very, very bad idea. I have to admit though, there are definately times when it is easier for me to convince myself to fill a huge pot with oil heated to 350 degrees and to start dropping shit into it. Yesterday was one of those days. When you are stuck in your house on a blizzard entrenched Sunday in February, all bets are off It is time to fry something!

Fried Plantains are damn good and thanks to this Food Network recipe, they are damn easy as well. The next time you feel like making your “meat and potatoes” night into something a bit more sexy, buy a jug of canola oil, heat the bitch up, and follow the directions. It’s unreal I tell you. Check here for some shots of the finished dish.

Enjoy.
