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
- Peel the skin away from the plantain and slice into thick diagonal pieces. Set the peel aside for later use.
- Mix ¾ cup of water with 1 Tbsp of salt in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
- In a shallow frying pan, heat cooking oil on medium to medium-high temperature.
- 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.
- Next, mash the cooked plantains between the two peels to make them into a thick flat chip.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Enjoy!
