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.

ingredients
vegetable oil
2 unripe (green) plantains
salt
directions
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.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
