TOSTONES (TWICE FRIED GREEN PLANTAINS) WITH MAYO-KETCHUP DIPPING SAUCE
I love plantains and I craved these all the time when I was pregnant. They are great as a side dish or appetizer. After you smash them, but before you fry them the second time, you can put them in a resealable plastic bag and freeze them for later. There's no need to defrost them but be careful when you drop them in the hot oil. You can adjust the mayonnaise to ketchup ratio to your liking and add more or less garlic.

Steps:
- Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, and garlic in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Fry plantain chunks until golden but not browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Allow the plantains to cool slightly, then smash each piece of plantain in a tostonero or with the bottom of a clean can. Fry the flattened plantains a second time until golden and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes more. Season with garlic salt.

Steps:

- Peel skin off plantain by making a surface cut lengthwise and peeling to the sides (plantains can be tricky to peel).

- Make sure oil is sizzling, fry plantains turning once for about 5 minutes (2-1/2 minutes each side).
- Remove plaintains from oil.
- Pat dry plantains, flatten each wheel (use a piece of wax paper folded for thickness) and sprinkle with Adobo or salt.
- Refry plantains until golden and crispy.
- For the"Mojo" combine ketchup and mayonnaise together in a small dish.
- Serve plantains hot.

CUBAN TOSTONES WITH GARLIC MOJO SAUCE
Steps:
- Heat oil for deep frying.
- Peel the plantains and slice them at an angle into 1~1½" thick pieces.
- Gently slide into the hot oil and fry for 4~5 minutes, flipping once. Using a slotted spoon, remove the plantains from oil and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain for about 2 minutes.
- When the fried slices are just cool enough to handle, about 2~3 minutes; gently but firmly flatten them to about ⅜" thick. I used my poori press to press the fried plantains, but a soup can, tortilla press or even a rolling pan will also work.
- Gently drop the flattened plantains back into the hot oil and fry for another 3~4 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp along the edges.
- Return to the paper to drain, sprinkle the hot tostones with salt, and serve immediately.
- In a large saucepan, combine the olive oil, garlic, onion and bring to a gently simmer over medium heat, then lower the heat to low. Simmer for 12~14 minutes or until the garlic and onion are very soft and just starting to turn golden.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the salt and ground cumin.
- Set aside for 2 minutes to cool slightly. Gently stir in the lime juice and ground pepper. Serve with tostones.
