¡Hoy es sábado sabroso! (Today is savory Saturday!)
La fecha es el veintiuno (21) de octubre del año dos mil veintitrés. (The date is October 21, 2023.)
El plato de la semana es: plátanos maduros fritos. (The dish of the week is: fried plantain.)
Plátanos maduros fritos is an African dish that has become a staple in Cuban cuisine and cuisines throughout the Caribbean. Fried plantain can be eaten alone or as a side dish. I prefer to eat it all alone before I delve into the rest of my meal.

Follow this detailed receta (recipe) to sink your teeth into some succulent maduros. ¡Qué rico! (How delicious!) Practice saying the name of each ingredient as you incorporate it. Instead of frying, I prefer to bake my maduros in coconut oil, and sometimes I sprinkle them with cinnamon.
