FRIED GREEN PLANTAINS

Tostones. In many Latin American countries, crunchy tostones are as popular (and served as often) as french fries are here. A single bite of their salty crust and tender interior will tell you why they're so beloved.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 (side dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 pound large unripe (green) plantains (about 3)
About 2 cups vegetable oil
2 cups warm water

Steps:

  • Cut ends from each plantain with a sharp small knife, then cut a lengthwise slit through peel. Cut plantains crosswise into 1-inch-thick pieces and, beginning at slit, pry off peel.
  • Heat 1/2 inch oil in a deep 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until just hot enough to sizzle when a piece of plantain is added. Fry plantains in 2 batches, turning occasionally with tongs, until tender and just golden, 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Transfer plantains to paper towels to drain, reserving oil in skillet.
  • Flatten each plantain to 1/4 inch thick with a tostone press or bottom of a heavy saucepan.
  • Stir together warm water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Heat reserved oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Dip a flattened plantain in salted water and gently place, without patting dry, in hot oil. (Plantains will not spatter.) Repeat with several more pieces and fry plantains (without crowding) in 4 or 5 batches, turning occasionally, until golden, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer with tongs to clean paper towels to drain. Season with salt and serve immediately.

BANAN PEZE (CRISP FRIED PLANTAINS)



Banan Peze (Crisp Fried Plantains) image

Salt water is the key to making these golden, starchy disks crisp and salty. Smashed and fried plantains are a popular staple around the Caribbean, where they are called tostones, patacones or, in Haiti, where this recipe comes from, banan peze.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 medium-size green (unripe) plantains, peeled
1 tablespoon fine salt

Steps:

  • Slice the plantains crosswise into thick slices, about 1 1/4 inches. (You should get about 5 slices per plantain.)
  • In a bowl large enough to hold the plantains, combine the salt with 1/2 cup water and stir until dissolved. Add plantains and set aside to soak for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Working in batches to avoid crowding, add plantain slices to skillet. (Keep the salt water used for soaking). When all the slices are in, sprinkle in about 2 teaspoons of the salt water. (It may splatter; keep a lid or splatter screen handy.)
  • Cook plantains about 5 minutes, turning once, until golden on both sides and just turning brown at the edges. As they brown, transfer them to paper towels to drain.
  • On a chopping board, using a broad solid spatula or a tostonera (plantain smasher), press down on each slice to flatten it into a flat round, about 1/4 inch thick and 2 inches wide.
  • Reheat the oil over medium heat. Dip flattened plantains in the salt water and fry the rounds again for about 1 minute on each side, until crispy and golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

Vegetable oil for frying
3 green plantains, peeled, lightly scored and cut into 2-inch slices on the diagonal, peels reserved
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, add oil to a depth of 2 inches and place over high heat. When the oil is very hot (a bread cube dropped into the oil will turn golden brown in 30 seconds), add the plantains and fry, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the plantains to a plate. Flatten one at a time between the plantain peels until about 1/4inch thick, then return to the oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 1 minute.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the plantains to a paper-towel-lined plate and season with salt to taste. Serve immediately.

BANAN PEZE (TWICE-FRIED GREEN PLAINTAIN SLICES)



Banan Peze (Twice-Fried Green Plaintain Slices) image

These are wonderful! Haitian-style or Cuban-style, they are great. The Cuban-Style is to make a garlic melted salted butter to serve over the "Tostones", just before serving and the Haitian-Style is just to add the salt. Traditionally, Banan Peze is served as an essential acompaniment to "Griots" #148369. Once again, some of the terminology is different because I have the recipe in Creole and something is lost in the translation. Received a helping hand from Valentine Joseph.
