Tostones (green plantains)

December 13, 2008 · WCC Administr@tr · 1 Comment

I made the following recipe for our annual Holiday Party where our menu highlighted Floribbean cuisine. Tostones is a popular side dish to Floribbean meals. This is made with green, unripened plantains that have been sliced and fried twice then served with a garlicy sauce.

2 unripe plantains
1/2 cup of oil
4 teaspoons of cold water

Salt

Peel the plantains and cut into 1 inch thick slices. In a deep frying pan heat the oil and fry the plantains till golden brown. Flatten the plantains using the bottom of a flat-bottomed glass bottle. Fry the plantains again for 30 seconds on each side.

(This part is optional) Mix the water, a pinch of salt and the mashed garlic. Stir and pour over the plantains.

Serve immediately.dsc00194-6552289dsc00196-7825560

    Fried plantains are one of my favorite things ever! There was a South American restaurant in Houston where I would always get them. SO GOOD!
