Fried Plantain: the side dish nobody shares willingly.
Every Congolese table has one dish that vanishes first, and it is usually this one. Ripe plantains, sliced on the diagonal and fried until the edges caramelize into a deep golden crust, sweet, soft in the middle, just crisp enough outside.
On the plate: Plantain

A generous plate of golden fried plantain slices

Caramelized edges, soft sweet centres
-
Fried fresh to order, never from a warming tray
Fried plantain is the great peacemaker of the menu: it sits happily beside smoky ntaba, cools the fire of pili-pili, balances a bowl of pondu, and gives the kids something to reach for while the grown-ups work through the stews. If your table has mixed tastes, adventurous and cautious alike, a plate of plantains in the middle keeps everyone happy.
You will find fried plantains inside every one of our feasts, from the Duo Feast to the Family 10 Feast. An extra plate for the table is never a bad idea.
