List of Ingredients
plantains (green, not black)
salted water (optional)
oil for frying
salt
Recipe
Peel the plantains and slice into 1" pieces. You can soak them in salt
water up to an hour before cooking, but it is not necessary. Fry them in
oil in a frying pan on both sides, until almost cooked through. Take
them out of the frying pan, pat oil off, and "smoosh" them -down and to
the right or left- with a tostones maker or the bottom of a coffee mug.
(The plantain should now look like a patty - it might be necessary to
scrape off from the bottom of the mug with a fork.) Refry the tostones
until they are crispy. Pat off the excess oil again, and salt to taste.
If the plantain is brown, then peel it, slice it lengthwise and fry it.
It will be a sweet side dish for your meal. (I can't remember the name
for this.)
