👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 1

   Peel the green plantains and cut them into thick slices, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.

2. 2

   Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Fry the plantain slices in batches until lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

3. 3

   While the plantains are still warm, place them between two cutting boards or use a tostonera (plantain press) and flatten each slice to about 1/2 inch thickness.

4. 4

   Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Carefully return the flattened plantains to the hot oil and fry again until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle immediately with salt.

5. 5

   In a separate skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Fry the cheese cubes until golden brown and slightly softened on all sides. Drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Arrange the crispy tostones on a serving platter. Top each tostone with a few cubes of fried cheese.

7. 7

   Serve immediately, optionally with a side of frijoles molidos or ensalada criolla.
