I just made some last night w your Dominican beans and your shredded chicken. GIRL !!!!! Let 👏 me 👏 tell👏 you👏 those beans are freaking AMAZING. Like what!!! I kept "tasting" hahaha more like eating them when they were almost done. The chicken was yum yum yummy. I am having leftovers right now and doing a happy dance. Thank you sooo much. I will be trying lots more of your recipes.

@Nancy1971 6 лет назад

My family is from Haiti and this is my favorite way to eat plantains. We do one extra step that makes it super delicious. After pressing it, we dip it in very salty water, then fry the second time. They get really crunchy and no salt bouncing off! Mmmm....

Dip the plantains in a garlic and salt water right after smashing them, let them dry a little bit on top of a plate with paper towel, then put them back to fry and your done. Trust me, the taste would be amazing!

I'm Mexican and have been curious about Dominican food for a while. This seems like simple enough recipe to start with, plus I can totally use my tortilla press as a cheat for the tostones press you have!

@chaliceguard4575 5 лет назад

I like the idea of you grouping your recipes into classifications (e.g. Dominican basics; Cuban basics; Caribbean favorites; rice recipes; desserts, main courses - beef/chicken/pork/seafood). Would be easier to find a particular dish, I think.

@CeluiEtSeul 2 года назад

I'm Dominican 🇩🇲, and my Dominican 🇩🇴 neighbours introduced me to this, and every timr i try to make it like them, it always come out soggy or undercook, plus mi español is no tan bueno, so it's difficult to ask them how to make it. But thabks to this video, I hopw they come out decent every time.

@usarmyizzy 4 года назад

For best crunchy tostones...soak them in salted brine water for 30 seconds and use paper towel to genty pat dry. Be careful when dropping in slowly One by One, the water contained within the Tostones will cause the oil to react violently therefore maintain the oil level at maximum of 40 percent of the frying pans capacity . Again be very vigilant and careful using this proof method resulting in the best crispy edges tostones. Top off with fresh garlic, lime juice,salt and olive oil mojito..Enjoy

@t.o.p.h6805 4 месяца назад

Do you soak them before or after you smash them??

@eleonoradjurdjic420 Год назад

Thanks! That was great! I also got a tip to quickly dip them in or brush one side with salty lime water that has soaked crushed garlic; Bfore the second frying. It does make the oil splatter more but, wow, the flavor is worth it to me. Plus I always make mojo de ajo to dip them in.

@Sushiwooshi123 2 года назад

I tried this recipe they came out good! But I did wish they'd come crispier. Mine came out firm and just a little bit crunchy. Next time, I'm going to try what a lot of people are saying in the comments: soaking them a bit in saltwater then refrying them UPDATE: Today I dipped them in said saltwater with a little bit of garlic mixed in too and they came out extra crispy! Definitely going to continue doing this in the future

So true; oil temp and patience is key to perfect tostones. My family loves my tostones when I don't rush them -- crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. 😁

@m.rodriguez8632 6 лет назад

@grabble7605 Год назад

I wasn't about to buy some special device that only has one use, so I used the cast iron burger press I use for hot sandwiches and crushing garlic (and burgers). I heated too high and cut too thin though. Several fell apart and became sacrificial snacks. Some refused to be pressed. I got a few rough-draft decent though. I also had some raspberries going kinda soft so I figured I'd use them up. Mashed 'em, bit of lemon juice, some apple cidar vinegar. Essentially improvised a raspberry ketchup, and it is _delicious_ with these. Got one more plantain right now, gonna let it ripen a bit (these things ripen a lot slower than bananas...) more then try again with the tips here.

Miraaaaaaaaaaa I can just TELL you're Dominican. If you ain't, you're Puerto Rican. The way you kept stopping and saying "I don't know how to say this in English". BRUH BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUH that spoke to me on a spiritual level. There are times when I don't even know how to say things in SPANISH when I'm speaking to someone from Central America. For the longest, I would call the school bus "la wawa" and the Spanish kids just looked at me like I was special. Anyway take a like and a sub!

@izphilly1 6 лет назад

Growing up in philly..... restaurants would finish them off with different sauces . For example Puerto Rican restaurants made them slightly softer not as crunchy and had a garlic sauce drizzled over them and it was to die for ......dominican and even chinese take out restaurants made their traditional crispy without any kind of sauce but would smell up the whole place something very fierce and finally a columbian restaurant I went to would make theirs crispy but with a garlic sofrito kind of sauce ......to die for !!! Overall whether in the carribean or south american style this is one great appetizer to any dinning room table .

@Chefzeecooks 6 лет назад

Agreed! I couldn't have said it better myself :)

I've seen some tostones receipes that call for putting the plantains in an ice water bath before frying them to make them really golden. Do you recommend this?

@Chefzeecooks 6 лет назад

I recommend doing this if you're cooking a large batch since it will keep the plantains from oxidizing and turning color. I definitely do that whenever I'm making a ton 😊

@axiomist4488 2 года назад

Very nice tostones. In Cuba theyre called "Platanos a Punetazo" or Bananas a' la Punch . The reason is this : the way they were made back when, was you fried them the first time, then you took a small paper bag (the size you would get a few tomatoes at the grocer), ripped it down one side so you could unroll it. Then you'd put the banana on one side, fold the other half over the banana and smash it with the palm of your hand (you "punched" it). Thus, the name "Platano a Punetazo" .
