I just made some last night w your Dominican beans and your shredded chicken. GIRL Let 👏 me 👏 tell👏 you👏 those beans are freaking AMAZING. Like what!!! I kept "tasting" hahaha more like eating them when they were almost done. The chicken was yum yum yummy. I am having leftovers right now and doing a happy dance. Thank you sooo much. I will be trying lots more of your recipes.

My slow ass really tried to flatten the platain while it was still RAW...Damn near dislocated my shoulder 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm Mexican and have been curious about Dominican food for a while. This seems like simple enough recipe to start with, plus I can totally use my tortilla press as a cheat for the tostones press you have!

I tried this recipe they came out good! But I did wish they'd come crispier. Mine came out firm and just a little bit crunchy. Next time, I'm going to try what a lot of people are saying in the comments: soaking them a bit in saltwater then refrying them

UPDATE: Today I dipped them in said saltwater with a little bit of garlic mixed in too and they came out extra crispy! Definitely going to continue doing this in the future

I wasn't about to buy some special device that only has one use, so I used the cast iron burger press I use for hot sandwiches and crushing garlic (and burgers).
I heated too high and cut too thin though. Several fell apart and became sacrificial snacks. Some refused to be pressed. I got a few rough-draft decent though. I also had some raspberries going kinda soft so I figured I'd use them up. Mashed 'em, bit of lemon juice, some apple cidar vinegar. Essentially improvised a raspberry ketchup, and it is _delicious_ with these. Got one more plantain right now, gonna let it ripen a bit (these things ripen a lot slower than bananas...) more then try again with the tips here.

Another great video. Back to Basics is my choice.

This makes sense! Now😣thanks so much. I was always burning my tostones and It was so annoying because they wouldn't cook through right. I thought the high heat would do it but I see were I went wrong tjhank uuuu!!!

My mom would add 2-3 slightly smashed garlic cloves to the oil while frying- game changer !!!

And the ending is so my parents 😂😂 always looking for the platano sales

[alexaofelia]

followed this recipe (along with your green plantains peeling video) and my tostones came out perfect on the first try.. thanks so much!

Growing up in restaurants would finish them off with different sauces . For example Puerto Rican restaurants made them slightly softer not as crunchy and had a garlic sauce drizzled over them and it was to die for and even chinese take out restaurants made their traditional crispy without any kind of sauce but would smell up the whole place something very fierce and finally a columbian restaurant I went to would make theirs crispy but with a garlic sofrito kind of sauce die for !!! Overall whether in the carribean or south american style this is one great appetizer to any dinning room table .

I love tostones it's a healthy, delicious snack. 😋

[byronmiller]

Thanks for helping us make these perfect tostones

[einzigkeit]

I can't find that video where you explain how to cut the Tostones, Thanks so much for the great tips.

Can these be prepared ahead up until the second frying? I'm having guests and planning to serve these with carne guisada. I'd like to have as much done as possible when my guests arrive. I'm not looking to make them a day ahead or anything, just earlier in the day on the day of.

[slayedbyk.c]

Hi, how much oil do I use? How long do I fry them on each side before flipping them?

[captureyourphoto]

Chef Zee, Can you or someone recommend which type of "Oil" is best for the Tostones?

[yursaman]

This with guacamole and shrimp is godlike.

[suleykauribe]
