Method
Green Plantain Chips
Prepare the Plantains
Peel the green plantains using a sharp knife. Cut them into thin slices, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, pour in vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the sliced plantains to the hot oil in batches. Fry until they are golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Season the Chips
Once fried, transfer the chips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle immediately with salt and paprika while still hot.
Aubergine Yassa
Prepare the Aubergine
Wash the aubergine and cut it into cubes. Place the cubes in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit for about 20 minutes to draw out moisture.
Add Aubergine and Seasonings
Add the drained aubergine cubes to the skillet. Stir in lemon juice, ground black pepper, and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.
Cook the Aubergine
Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the aubergine is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Serve
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Serve the aubergine yassa alongside the green plantain chips.
