A few days ago, I got Puerto Rican cooking lessons from Justin’s grandmother. These are homemade tostones. Nothing low-fat here. Slices of plantain are fried, left to cool, smashed in a wooden press, and then fried again. Dust with salt and garlic powder for a delicious snack or crispy side dish. I was even given my own plantain press as a parting gift. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s image which is a real masterpiece of Puerto Rican cooking.
