🇨🇺 Cuba recipe
Tostones
Tostones are the beloved crunchy side dish and snack of Cuban cuisine, made from green (unripe) plantains that are sliced, fried once, smashed flat, and fried again to golden perfection. The result is a crispy, starchy disc with a tender interior that serves as the perfect vehicle for garlicky mojo sauce. Found at every Cuban table from humble homes to upscale restaurants, tostones are an indispensable part of the cuisine.
