Usually when I make plaintains they are the ripe and sweet kind, however I decided to try making tostones with the unripe green ones that are also sold at the store. These are really easy to make and are great with a bit of salt and served with a black bean dip or salsa. The trick to getting these the right texture is to fry them twice.Ingredients:
- 1-2 green plantains
- vegetable oil
- salt
- dipping sauce
Directions:
- Peel and slice plantains into circles
- Heat oil in a frying pan
- Fry plantains on both sides
- Remove with tongs or slotted spoon
- Let cool for 1-2 minutes
- Smash plantains flat with a fork or spatula
- Put plantains back in oil until a crispy brown coating occurs
- Remove and let dry on paper towels
Enjoy!
