Klaklo – ripe plantain fritters – Côte d’Ivoire
Serves 2-4
1. Peel the plantains and put them in a big bowl.
2. Using a fork or a spoon, mash the plantains. It is not necessary to remove the seeds from the plantains, but you can if you prefer.
3. Add the grated onion rice flour and keep mashing the plantains until you obtain a lumpy paste.
4. Add the salt and red pepper flakes
5. Bring the oil to heat in a deep skillet. Using two spoons, fashion little dough balls of plantains, about the size that you would use for small cookies, and place them in the hot oil
6. Turn each klaklo on its other side when one side is a golden-brown.
7. Serve with a side of tomato gravy and accompany with some meat or fish, or just enjoy on its own as an afternoon snack!
