    Dominica seasoned fig flats are a delicious appetizer or snack.  Seasoned with spicy peppers, onion and garlic the fig is actually a green plantain at least that's what they call them in Dominica. If they say banana they are actually referring to a ripe plantain. These fried treats are an easy to make  appetizer or snack for any occasion. Enjoy!
