TOSTONES WITH GARLIC MOJO DIPPING SAUCE
Crispy twice-fried plantains are a staple throughout many Latin American countries, including Puerto Rico, where my family is from. They're eaten at just about any time of day and in many ways-as a side dish along with entrees like pork or fish, as the base for savory party canapes or even as a salty late-night bar snack with a variety of dipping sauces. Here we serve them with garlic mojo (from the Spanish word "mojar" which means "to wet")-a tangy and spicy condiment made with fresh citrus juice, olive oil, garlic and herbs. Mojo is typically made with sour orange juice from Seville oranges, but as those aren't readily available you can use a mix of lime and regular orange juice to approximate the flavor.

Steps:
- For the mojo: Finely mince or use a rasp grater to grate the garlic into a small bowl or the base of a mortar and pestle. Add the salt and pepper and use a fork or the pestle to mash into a paste. Strip the oregano and cilantro leaves off the stems and add them to the bowl, mashing them into the paste. Whisk in the sour orange juice or equal parts lime and orange juice and the olive oil. Taste and add additional salt if desired. Set aside while you prepare the tostones.
- For the tostones: Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven until it reaches 325 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
- While the oil heats, peel the plantains and cut on the bias into 2-inch-thick pieces.
- Fry the plantains in batches until crisp and pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper-towel-lined baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining plantains.
- Move the pot the off the heat (do not discard the oil).
- Line a cutting board with parchment paper and gather a flat-bottomed glass and small bowl of water. Place a fried plantain on the parchment paper, dip the bottom of the glass in the water and use it to smash the plantain to about 1/2-inch thick. Repeat with the rest of the plantains.
- Put the oil on the heat again and bring it back up to 325 degrees F. Fry the smashed plantains in batches until golden and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels, season with salt and serve hot with the garlic mojo dipping sauce.

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

- 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.

Steps:
- mash up the Garlic really well. i use a pilon or mortar & pestle.
- heat up Olive Oil in a sauce pan and let garlic simmer for a few minutes. Do not let it burn!
- put in the Tomato Sauce and mix in the Tomato Paste to desired thickness. this sauce should not taste alot like tomato, the garlic should take over the taste of it.
- mix in the Lemon Juice.
- Let it cool a bit and eat with tostones as a dip.
- *Variation: For a stronger taste you can let the sauce sit for a few days and then run it through a strainer to get rid of the pieces of garlic,.

- Heat the oil. Peel the plantains while you are heating the oil. Cut the ends from each plantain then peel off its skin. Slice the plantains thinly (more or less half an inch).
- Once the oil is hot (about 375 F), fry the slices in batches just until they turn a light golden color and slightly crisp. They should only be about half-cooked at this point. Remove the plantain slices with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Place the plantains on a flat surface then smash them into flat rounds. Re-fry the plantain chips in the hot oil until they turn crisp and golden brown. Serve while hot. If eating on their own, season with a little salt.
