Tostones Recipe


Once they're browned, remove from the oil and plate them on a serving dish.  Next, make a really quick and delicious mojo sauce for dipping the tostones in.  You'll need 1 cup of diced onions, 1/4 cup of fresh pressed garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.  You can also add a splash or two of olive oil.

Ingredients
  • 2-3 green plantains
  • 3-4 cups of high heat cooking oil (safflower or a coconut blend works well)
  • ¾ cup of water mixed with 1 Tbsp salt
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • ¼ cup fresh pressed garlic
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions

  1. Peel the skin away from the plantain and slice into thick diagonal pieces. Set the peel aside for later use.
  2. Mix ¾ cup of water with 1 Tbsp of salt in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
  3. In a shallow frying pan, heat cooking oil on medium to medium-high temperature.
  4. Fry the plantians until they're a golden color. Remove from oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Turn heat to low.
  5. Next, mash the cooked plantains between the two peels to make them into a thick flat chip.
  6. Once all the plantains are mashed, dip them in the salt water mixture, then carefully place them back into the frying pan to fry them a second time.
  7. Turn the plantains continuously to have them cook evenly on both sides. They're done when they've turned a golden brown. Once they're done, remove them from oil and set aside.
  8. In a food processor, blend the onions, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper until it forms a paste-like dipping sauce. Spoon the sauce into a bowl and serve with the tostones.
  9. Enjoy!
