½ Cup chopped cilantro leaves

1 Tablespoon minced jalapeno peppers

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon cayenne

½ Cup minced red onions

½ Cup finely chopped seeded plum tomatoes

¼ Cup finely chopped fresh jicama

2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

½ lb. lump crabmeat

Procedure

In a large bowl, place the peeled avocados and mash till chunky. Add the lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno, salt, a pinch of cayenne, and mash with the back of a fork until incorporated. Add the onions, tomatoes, jicama  and extra virgin olive oil to the avocado mixture, stir well to combine.

PLANTAIN CHIPS 

Ingredients

2 green plantains

Vegetable oil for deep-frying

Kosher salt

Directions

Peel the plantains. Using a mandolin set on the “thin” setting, slice the plantains lengthwise. When ready to fry, pat the slices dry thoroughly with paper towels.

In a deep-fryer or a large skillet, heat at least 2 inches of oil to 375°F. Working in batches, add the plantain slices to the oil. Fry, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. 

Plate plantain chips, serve with guacamole and enjoy!
