Tostón
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tostones are a dish made from sliced green plantain(s) which are cut either length-wise or width-wise and are twice fried. The first step is to heat the oil on medium for a few minutes. Once it's hot enough, one cooks both sides for 1-2 minutes each side until they are golden brown in color. One then removes them, pat dry excess oil, pounds them flat with one's fist or any kitchen utensil that has a flat surface, and fry them once again until they are lightly crisp and somewhat brown in color. They are salted and eaten much like potato chips. They can also be bought pre-made from supermarkets.You can have them with a side of Cubed Steak in Onions, and also a Side Salad. This food is found in Caribbean cuisine, especially in the Dominican Republic.
