Ingredients: |
|
|
a)
3 or 4 green plantains, peeled and cut at a
slant, so that a medium-sized plantain yields around six
pieces.
b)
Seasoning to taste (garlic salt, ground pepper, ground
oregano).

Procedure: |
|
|
|
Fry in a
deep pan over medium to medium-high heat until the
pieces begin to turn crisp. It's best to fry a few
pieces at a time. Remove the pieces. Set over a firm
surface and press down on each piece with a hard
instrument such as a roller until it becomes flattened
thin and elongated. (Unless, of course, you avail
yourself of a Tostonera - a gadget that will press the
plantain piece into the shape of a Toston) |
|
|
|
 |
|
| |
Return to the frying pan and continue to fry until they
look quite crisp. Remove excess frying oil by setting
over paper towels. |

|
|
|
Use
as a side dish to substitute for French fries. |
