Tostones

For this recipe, we do a tutorial on how to cook Tostones fully into great tasting deliciousness that is done in my family with a special sauce that was handed down. We take green plantains and cut the tips off from each end. Then cut along the side to remove the peel from it as we then cut them into an inch a piece. We prepare a frying pan with vegetable oil and cook each piece fully until golden brown on both sides making sure they are hard. Once they are cooked remove and place on a plate with paper towel. Then take the Tostones and flatten it for the next phase of frying for the Tostones. Place back into the frying pan and continue to cook them for about 1 to 2 minutes. For the special sauce, we take Red onions and slice a few rims. We keep them intact and place them into a pot with vegetable oil to cook. We add adobo seasoning, cilantro, cumin powder, onion powder, oregano, salt and one minced garlic. Once the Tostones are fully cooked add the sauce over it and serve.
