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.

FRIED PLANTAIN CHIPS

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon garam masala
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
A pinch of salt
A pinch of pepper
4 unripe green plantains or bananas
4 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the garam masala, smoked paprika, salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the plantains into very thin slices, about 1/8-inch thickness.
  • Pour the oil into a large, heavy bottomed pot and heat it to 350 degrees F. The oil level should come one-third of the way up the sides of the pot. If there is too much oil, it will overflow when the chips are added. Alternatively, use a deep-fryer.
  • Fry the plantain slices in batches in the hot oil until crispy and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir them a bit while they fry to prevent them from sticking together. Remove the plantains and drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with the spice mixture and serve.
  • Alternatively, the plantain chips can be cooled and stored in an airtight container for up to 10 days.

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large green plantains
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup peanut oil

Steps:

  • Heat the oil to rippling in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the plantains for 10 minutes. Remove the plantain slices from the oil (reserving the oil) and place in one layer on a tea towel or several layers of absorbent paper on a counter top. Turn to remove excess oil. Using bunchedup absorbent paper or another tea towel, press down on each slice. Heat the reserved oil to 375 degrees and fry the plantains until crisp and golden. Season with garlic powder and salt.
