The Ivorian Alloco Recipe :
Ingredients :
Nice plantain bananas frying oil Salt
Start by peeling the plantains. Cut them into slices.
Heat the peanut oil in a deep fryer (or a heavy-bottomed saucepan). When it is hot, add the plantain slices in the peanut oil and let them fry until they are golden brown.
At the end of cooking, the plantain slices should be nicely colored. Remove them from the fryer and place them on a plate lined with paper towel. Let the alloco drain for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle a little salt on the allocos. Mix. Serve your allocos immediately, as an aperitif or as a main course, and enjoy them piping hot.
