Tostones: The Caribbean French Fry
 
Ingredients
  • 4 green plantains (no hint of yellow, green, green)
  • 2 cups of sunflower oil
  • sea salt
  • ketchup
Instructions
  1. Heat oil in pan on stove and slice plantains into ½-1 inch disks
  2. Fry plantains in oil for a couple of minutes per side until golden
  3. Remove from oil and drain on paper towel lined plate. Then using a tostonera if you're fancy (or the back of a wooden spoon if you're me) smash the fried plantain and return to the oil. Fry until golden brown (yummy looking).
  4. Sprinkle sea salt over plantains and serve with ketchup.
