Yield 3 cups salsa

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup cooked black beans
1 ear corn, grilled, kernels removed
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 to 2 jalapenos, seeded and finely diced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
3 very ripe plantains
1/3 cup vegetable oil
4 large unripe plantains
Canola oil
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • In a bowl combine beans, corn kernels, pepper, red onion, jalapenos and cilantro. Add lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • Cut ends off plantains and peel. Cut plantains on the bias so that resulting slices are about 1/2-inch thick. In a large nonstick sautepan over medium to high heat, heat oil. Saute plantains in batches until golden, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove fried plantains to paper towels to drain and sprinkle with salt, if desired. Chop cooled plantains into ?-inch dice and add to bean mixture. Serve with Tostones (see recipe below)
  • TOSTONES: Cut ends off plantains and peel. Cut plantains so that resulting slices are 1-inch round pieces. In a large nonstick sautepan over medium to high heat, heat about 1/2-inch oil. Fry plantains in batches until golden and softened, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from sautepan and drain. Flatten cooked plantain pieces by pressing with heavy sautepan, until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Briefly dip in a bowl of warm salted water and drain. Return flattened plantains to hot oil and fry again, in batches, until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Serve with Sweet Plantain Salsa (see recipe above Yield: about 3 dozen tostones.)

TOSTONES (TWICE FRIED GREEN PLANTAINS) WITH MAYO-KETCHUP DIPPING SAUCE



Tostones (Twice Fried Green Plantains) with Mayo-Ketchup Dipping Sauce image

I love plantains and I craved these all the time when I was pregnant. They are great as a side dish or appetizer. After you smash them, but before you fry them the second time, you can put them in a resealable plastic bag and freeze them for later. There's no need to defrost them but be careful when you drop them in the hot oil. You can adjust the mayonnaise to ketchup ratio to your liking and add more or less garlic.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup ketchup
1 large clove garlic, pressed
3 cups canola oil for frying
2 green plantains, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 pinch garlic salt

Steps:

  • Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, and garlic in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Fry plantain chunks until golden but not browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Allow the plantains to cool slightly, then smash each piece of plantain in a tostonero or with the bottom of a clean can. Fry the flattened plantains a second time until golden and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes more. Season with garlic salt.

  • Make the simple salsa by combining the tomato, garlic, olive oil, sun-dried tomato, and salt and pepper. You could do this in a food processor, a mortar and pestle, or just a bowl.
  • Heat the oil in a small, shallow skillet until it reaches 300 degrees F. Split the plantains lengthwise, being careful not to cut too deep. Peel off the thick outer skin, and slice the plantain into 3/4 inch thick discs.
  • Fry the plantain pieces in the oil for about about 3 minutes until they have a very light crust on them and are cooked through. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • Clean the bottom of a heavy can (we used a big 28 ounce of crushed tomatoes for this task). Take the plantains and flatten them into circles with the can. You know they are cooked when they are easily smashed.
