TOSTONES WITH GARLIC MOJO DIPPING SAUCE
Crispy twice-fried plantains are a staple throughout many Latin American countries, including Puerto Rico, where my family is from. They're eaten at just about any time of day and in many ways-as a side dish along with entrees like pork or fish, as the base for savory party canapes or even as a salty late-night bar snack with a variety of dipping sauces. Here we serve them with garlic mojo (from the Spanish word "mojar" which means "to wet")-a tangy and spicy condiment made with fresh citrus juice, olive oil, garlic and herbs. Mojo is typically made with sour orange juice from Seville oranges, but as those aren't readily available you can use a mix of lime and regular orange juice to approximate the flavor.

Steps:
- For the mojo: Finely mince or use a rasp grater to grate the garlic into a small bowl or the base of a mortar and pestle. Add the salt and pepper and use a fork or the pestle to mash into a paste. Strip the oregano and cilantro leaves off the stems and add them to the bowl, mashing them into the paste. Whisk in the sour orange juice or equal parts lime and orange juice and the olive oil. Taste and add additional salt if desired. Set aside while you prepare the tostones.
- For the tostones: Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven until it reaches 325 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
- While the oil heats, peel the plantains and cut on the bias into 2-inch-thick pieces.
- Fry the plantains in batches until crisp and pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper-towel-lined baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining plantains.
- Move the pot the off the heat (do not discard the oil).
- Line a cutting board with parchment paper and gather a flat-bottomed glass and small bowl of water. Place a fried plantain on the parchment paper, dip the bottom of the glass in the water and use it to smash the plantain to about 1/2-inch thick. Repeat with the rest of the plantains.
- Put the oil on the heat again and bring it back up to 325 degrees F. Fry the smashed plantains in batches until golden and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels, season with salt and serve hot with the garlic mojo dipping sauce.
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.

TOSTONES
The twice-fried crisp, flattened green plantains known as tostones are often served as appetizers and side dishes. For me they are the ultimate Puerto Rico snack. Everyone that's not from the island is blown away by their taste, but most of all by the treat's faithful companion, the "mayoketchup," what I call Caribbean cocktail sauce.

Steps:
- Pour 1 1/2 to 2 inches of oil a large saute pan or deep large skillet and place over medium-high heat. Line 2 plates with paper towels.
- Meanwhile, place the plantains on a cutting board and cut off the ends. While holding a plantain firmly, slit the peel lengthwise without cutting into the flesh of the plantain. Cut the plantain in half crosswise. Using the tip of your knife, start to loosen the edges of the skin without cutting into the flesh. Remove the peel of the plantain with your hands. Repeat with the remaining plantains.
- Slice the plantains into 1-inch rounds. Fry the plantains in batches until just golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to one of the paper towel-lined plates to drain.
- Flatten the plantains in a tostonera or on a cutting board by pressing down on the pieces one at a time with a small plate or the bottom of a clean can.
- Working in batches, return the flattened plantains to the saute pan and fry again until they are golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the second paper towel-lined plate.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup and garlic in a small bowl and until completely incorporated.
- Sprinkle the tostones with salt and serve immediately with the mayo-ketchup on the side.

- Slice the tips off the plantains with a knife, then cut 1 or 2 slits in the skin down the length of the plantain. If the peel does not lift off easily you can loosen it by soaking the plantains in a bowl of water with about 1 tablespoon (6g) of salt for 10 to 15 minutes.
- For plain mayonnaise, in a food processor, pulse the egg and salt to blend. With the motor running, pour in the oil in a thin stream. (Some food processors have a small hole in the feed tube specifically designed for making mayonnaise. Pour the oil into the tube and it will drip slowly, repeat until all oil has been added.) Add the lime juice and pulse to combine. Taste and add extra salt, if necessary.

- Heat the oil. Peel the plantains while you are heating the oil. Cut the ends from each plantain then peel off its skin. Slice the plantains thinly (more or less half an inch).
- Once the oil is hot (about 375 F), fry the slices in batches just until they turn a light golden color and slightly crisp. They should only be about half-cooked at this point. Remove the plantain slices with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Place the plantains on a flat surface then smash them into flat rounds. Re-fry the plantain chips in the hot oil until they turn crisp and golden brown. Serve while hot. If eating on their own, season with a little salt.
