Tostones are the Haitian version of fried green plantains, typically served as an accompaniment.
Ingredients:
3 green plantains
500ml (about) vegetable oil for frying
Sea salt to taste
Method:
Peel the plantains by making a vertical cut through the skin all the way along and peeling the skin back with your hands or the edge of a spoon.
Cut the plantains into 2cm thick pieces. Heat a layer of oil in a heavy-based pan.
Fry the plantains in batches. When the plantains are starting to turn light golden brown, remove from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
To finish the plantains, smash each one with the back of a wooden spoon — this gives you a flatter shape with rougher edges; the classic tostones shape.
Return to the frying pan and fry for an additional 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer back to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
Sprinkle with salt and serve
