Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

Interested in exploring a bold new flavor? Fried plantains offer that irresistible combination of sweetness and savory crunch, making them a must-try.

vegetable oil
2 unripe (green) plantains
salt
In a heavy pot, preheat 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium high heat.
Using a sharp knife, peel plantains. If you have a mandolin available, slice plantains on a long diagonal 1/8th-inch thick. Otherwise use a very sharp, thin knife to the same affect.
Working in batches, fry about 1/4 of the plantain slices at a time. Fry for about 2 minutes until golden, turning with a slotted spoon if necessary.
Transfer from oil with a slotted spoon to paper towels and salt immediately. Repeat with remaining plantains.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
