Ingredients

2 plantain (green, unripe)
1 red onion [7.08 gr]
1 egg (medium)
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped chives Plus extra to garnish
2 cup oil for frying

Instructions

1. Grating

Peel the plantains.
Grate plantains and onions with the coarse side of the grater.

2. Combining

In a mixing bowl, combine the grated plantain and onion. Add egg, salt, and chives and stir to combine.

3. Frying

Heat the oil over medium-high heat 350 °F [177 °C] in a small frying pan or saucepan.
Scoop two tablespoons of the plantain batter into the oil, fry 3 or 4 at a time so the oil doesn't get too cool. Once golden brown on one side, flip and fry until golden brown all over.
Remove from the oil and rest on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle with chives, and serve warm.
