People in countries outside of Colombia call them tostones and I am not sure what else! They are nothing like what you buy in bags at the store in the “Goya” section. Those hard plantain chips are scary, I almost broke a tooth on one!Real homemade platanos are a bit crispy on the outside and moist on the inside and should be eaten hot out of the oil, well salted. I suggest also poking a few holes with a fork and slathering it with butter (yum). Go to the bottom of this post to learn about a neat tool, the E-Z Peeler, that will make you a plantain-peeling pro.I am producing this series into a How-2 guide for purchase as well, stay tuned! (Update: Ok, its been a year or so since this post and I STILL have to get it together to make this publication. I will, I promise, am just in the process of obtaining the needed software, should be soon.)
” by David Joachim and Andrew Schloss right now and I have to say I am LOVING this book. Will post review soon!
