Remove and place in a serving dish. To make garlic dressing, squeeze limes. De-seed the peppers and chop them finely. Peel the garlic bulb and pound or grind it to a paste.

Peel the plantains and slice them into “discs.” Marinade in salt and pepper brine for 1/2 hour. Remove from brine and dry on paper towels. Deep-fry in hot oil and pound sharply with a quart bottle filled with water to create flat discs. Return to the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Serve piping hot with a spinach dip accompaniment.
