So in a rather warm Tuesday afternoon and me still sans trabajo and have to do something with all of my spare time and decided to make my sweetie a yummy quick Dominican dish. I used help like rice with flavorings, my personal fave is Goya yellow rice low sodium if you can find it, it's worth it. Grain fed thin cut pork chops seasoned with salt and pepper and pan fried in corn oil. And the topper? Fried plantanos. You call them plantains or green bananas. Here's how to prepare them: you take the plantain and with a firm grip and a sharp knife you slice across the length of it. If done correctly, you should be able to peal the skin off with out much trouble. But if you are like me and tend to overdue Everything, you make need to make a second slice. Slice them like a normal banana or slightly across. Sear them for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and use the plantain skin or a cup or if you have a great market like mines a tostonera. It's 2 bucks and makes mashing them into discs so much easier and it's more authentic. Place back in the pan and cook until GBD (golden, brown and delicious) It took me about 30 minutes to make this entire meal. It looks terrific but next time, I will make something much easier. Enjoy everyone.

Cheers!
