Steps:
- In a medium sized frying pan, heat the oil for frying. (You should have about 3 to 4 inches of oil)
- Then cut the plantain in an inch-thick pieces, you will know your oil is hot when putting the first piece it will begin to bubble around it, if you want to be more thorough, have a thermometer at 320 F - 325 F.
- Fry the slices for about 3 to 4 minutes, until they are lightly colored and cooked. Take them out of the oil and put them over paper towels to drain al excess oil and let them cool down.
- Then tostones are smashed with a tostonera, a gadget to help flattened the tostones, if you have a tortilla press that will do if no the bottom of a wine bottle will do. Individually smashed down to about half their original height.
- Heat again the oil for frying and then place carefully the smashed plantain slices to the oil and cook them about 3 minutes until the edges become golden brown. Remove them from the oil, drain again on paper towels, sprinkle with salt and serve while hot with the garlic mojo.
TOSTONES WITH GARLIC MOJO DIPPING SAUCE
Crispy twice-fried plantains are a staple throughout many Latin American countries, including Puerto Rico, where my family is from. They're eaten at just about any time of day and in many ways-as a side dish along with entrees like pork or fish, as the base for savory party canapes or even as a salty late-night bar snack with a variety of dipping sauces. Here we serve them with garlic mojo (from the Spanish word "mojar" which means "to wet")-a tangy and spicy condiment made with fresh citrus juice, olive oil, garlic and herbs. Mojo is typically made with sour orange juice from Seville oranges, but as those aren't readily available you can use a mix of lime and regular orange juice to approximate the flavor.

Steps:
- For the mojo: Finely mince or use a rasp grater to grate the garlic into a small bowl or the base of a mortar and pestle. Add the salt and pepper and use a fork or the pestle to mash into a paste. Strip the oregano and cilantro leaves off the stems and add them to the bowl, mashing them into the paste. Whisk in the sour orange juice or equal parts lime and orange juice and the olive oil. Taste and add additional salt if desired. Set aside while you prepare the tostones.
- For the tostones: Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven until it reaches 325 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
- While the oil heats, peel the plantains and cut on the bias into 2-inch-thick pieces.
- Fry the plantains in batches until crisp and pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper-towel-lined baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining plantains.
- Move the pot the off the heat (do not discard the oil).
- Line a cutting board with parchment paper and gather a flat-bottomed glass and small bowl of water. Place a fried plantain on the parchment paper, dip the bottom of the glass in the water and use it to smash the plantain to about 1/2-inch thick. Repeat with the rest of the plantains.
- Put the oil on the heat again and bring it back up to 325 degrees F. Fry the smashed plantains in batches until golden and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels, season with salt and serve hot with the garlic mojo dipping sauce.

Steps:
- Heat oil for deep frying.
- Peel the plantains and slice them at an angle into 1~1½" thick pieces.
- Gently slide into the hot oil and fry for 4~5 minutes, flipping once. Using a slotted spoon, remove the plantains from oil and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain for about 2 minutes.
- When the fried slices are just cool enough to handle, about 2~3 minutes; gently but firmly flatten them to about ⅜" thick. I used my poori press to press the fried plantains, but a soup can, tortilla press or even a rolling pan will also work.
- Gently drop the flattened plantains back into the hot oil and fry for another 3~4 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp along the edges.
- Return to the paper to drain, sprinkle the hot tostones with salt, and serve immediately.
- In a large saucepan, combine the olive oil, garlic, onion and bring to a gently simmer over medium heat, then lower the heat to low. Simmer for 12~14 minutes or until the garlic and onion are very soft and just starting to turn golden.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the salt and ground cumin.
- Set aside for 2 minutes to cool slightly. Gently stir in the lime juice and ground pepper. Serve with tostones.
