Fried plantain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the African dish. For Central and South American versions, see Plantain

Fried plantain is an African dish cooked wherever plantains grow, from West Africa through Central Africa to East Africa. It is called aloco in Côte D'Ivoire and dodo in Nigeria.

Fried plantain may be served as a snack, a starter or as a side dish to a main course, such as Jollof rice, spicy barbecued meat or the West-African-style soups (which more closely approximate stews).
