Tostones – Fried Plantains
x
Print Options
Description
The term comes from “tostar” which means to toast. Tostones, also known as “Patacones”, are a Caribbean favorite side dish or snack. I became hooked on tostones the first time I tried them; how can anyone resist all that crunchy goodness?
Ingredients
- 3 whole Green Unripe Plantains
- 1 cup Olive Oil
- 1 pinch Salt
Preparation
1. Peel away the plantains’ skin and cut them into slices, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.
2. Preheat the oil in a deep frying pan, add the plantains and fry each side until golden, about 2 minutes. Make sure to not overcook them.
3. Smash each piece until flat.
4. Fry the plantains again until the surface is firm.
5. Drain on a paper towel.
6. Season with salt.
Buen provecho!
