Nutritional information

Tostones are twice-fried plantain slices commonly found in Latin American cuisine and Caribbean cuisine.

Tostones (Fried Plantains)

Peel plantains and cut into 1-inch-thick slices.

Preheat oil in heavy frying pan over medium heat 3–5 minutes. Fry plantain slices (in batches) 4–5 minutes until light golden. Flatten plantains to about 1/4-inch thickness using a rolling pin (or mallet). Fry flattened slices 4–5 minutes until golden yellow on both sides. Sprinkle with salt and cilantro (if using) and serve immediately, with mojo sauce on the side (if using).

Celebrate with the flavors of the Caribbean, then share their deliciousness with your family.

Mofongo

Heat oil to 350°F in a medium sauté pan. Fry plantains, in batches if necessary, 4–5 minutes or until golden and softened.

Squeeze limes for juice (1/4 cup). Peel and smash garlic cloves. Combine in a medium mixing bowl: fried plantains, garlic, lime juice, and adobo. Mash until smooth and combined.

Form mixture into base of small serving bowls, pressing up the sides to form a cup shape. Fill with <a href="https://wpvip.publix.com/spanish-en/recipe/shrimp-and-garlic-cilantro-sauce/">Shrimp and</a><a href="/en/recipe/shrimp-and-garlic-cilantro-sauce/"> Garlic-Cilantro Sauce</a>; serve.
