Dr. John's crispy Paleo plantain fritters

What the hell's a Plantain you may ask? A plantain is from the banana family, it comes in three colors: green, yellow and black. We will using the black plantain today it is the sweetest of the plantain family of bananas.
The plantain shares the same good starch you would find in a sweet potatoes. The taste is sweet and soft and the texture ranges from chunky to smooth depending how you mash it up. This dish fries up nice and crispy on the outside and the inside tastes sweet like warm hash browns.
1 cup of raw plantains =181 calories per serving and 47 carbs per gram.
Start with 2 black soft plantains.
I use a food processor but you can mash with a fork.
Add 1 red apple shredded to the mix.
Add 1 egg beaten to the mix.
You can also add cinnamon and parmesan cheese if you want to mix it up a bit.
Use 2 tbs. of organic coconut oil and begin to scoop 1 table spoon of mix into the hot oil.
Flatten the scoop evenly with the back of the spoon and fry for about 1-1/2 mins each side or until lightly brown.
Take out and place on a paper towel and use garlic salt to season lightly.
This is great for a breakfast hash brown or a side with any dish.
Keep it healthy and fresh and you will enjoy making new dishes.
Live Well,
Dr. John
