- Cut plantains down the middle; peel away skin and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces.

TOSTONES
A staple dish throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, tostones are crisp, flattened plantains that are often served as appetizers and side dishes. Unlike sweet maduros, which are made with very ripe, almost black, yellow plantains, savory tostones are made with unripe green plantains. Tostones are fried twice: The first fry sears the cut sides of the plantains, establishing a base layer of color; the second fry ensures that every edge is golden and crunchy. Tostoneras, wooden tools designed to create the perfect tostone shape, come in handy here, but a flat-bottomed cup will do just fine in its place.

Steps:
- Trim and discard the ends of the plantains. Use a paring knife to cut a slit along the length of the plantain to easily remove the peel, carefully avoiding cutting into the flesh. If the peel is too firm, use a spoon to lift the edges, then discard the peel. Slice the plantain crosswise into 1-inch rounds (about 8 pieces per plantain).
- In a large skillet, heat about 1/8-inch vegetable oil over medium. When the oil shimmers, add the plantains, flat-side down. Fry until beginning to turn golden, about 1 minute per side.
- While keeping the heat on, transfer plantains to a cutting board. Working with one piece at a time, use a tostonera or large flat-bottomed cup to gently press each plantain to about 1/2-inch thick. (If using a cup, keep it as centered as possible to flatten the plantains evenly.)
- Working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan, pan-fry the flattened plantains until golden-brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer tostones to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. While hot, season with salt to taste. Serve immediately.
SHRIMP TOSTONES
This is an appetizer recipe from Cafe Verde in Pasadena, California. It consists of a cream sauce, fried plantains with a shrimp filling, and is finished with a balsamic reduction. The recipe makes more cream sauce than is needed. It can be kept in the refrigerator for a few days. I wrote the recipe as written up in the LA Times, but when I made it, I think the serving size is way too much. I could only eat 1 plantain as an appetizer. Perhaps if making as a tapas 2 would suffice, but 3 is too much for one person. I would just serve these all on a platter, and let guests take however much they want.

Steps:
- Make the sauce: Heat butter in a large saucepan over high heat; cook the garlic and squash until the garlic is aromatic.
- Add the wine and onion and reduce the heat to medium low; cook until the squash is tender and the wine has reduced to a glaze, about 15 minutes.
- Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream and thyme; cook until reduced by about 1/3, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Remove from heat, discard thyme, and puree with an immersion blender, or use a regular blender.
- Strain sauce, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and thin with additional broth, if necessary.
- To make the shrimp filling, melt butter in a large skillet, over high heat.
- Add garlic and cook until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir in shrimp, salsa, and white wine; cook until the wine and liquid from the salsa is reduced and the shrimps are cooked, 2 to 3 minutes; remove from heat.
- To reduce the balsamic vinegar: cook the vinegar, in a small saucepan, over medium low heat (gentle simmer) until the vinegar is reduced to a thick sauce, 8 to 10 minutes; set aside and let cool.
- Peel the plantains and cut into thirds.
- Use a melon baller to scoop out plantains to form a "canoe.".
- Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the plantains until they are golden and tender on all sides, about 6 to 8 minutes; drain on paper toweling.
- To assemble: Divide 1 cup of the sauce on each of 4 serving plates.
- Place 3 plantains on each plate and spread with shrimp filling.
- Drizzle with the balsamic reduction and serve.

TOSTONES (POTATOES)
In eighteenth-century Mexico and California, a toston was a silver doubloon worth fifty cents. These are round slices of potato in chile sauce named after these silver coins. Although the recipe calls for baking the potatoes, I precooked my potatoes in the microwave by piercing them with a fork and cooking on high for about 5 minutes which really cut back on the prep time.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake the potatoes for at least 45 minutes. Allow them to cool so you can easily peel and cut them into 1/4 inch slices. Heat the oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Brown the slices of potatoes, turning frequently. Meanwhile, prepare the gravy.
- Chile Gravy: Heat the additional 2 tablespoons oil in another skillet and blend in the flour. Cook until the flour is golden to make a roux, then stir in the garlic. Cook for just 1 minute. Add the cumin and oregano. Remove skillet from the heat.
- Combine the chile powder and water in a medium bowl, whisking until well blended. Add the chicken broth. Whisk this chile mixture into the flour roux. Place the skillet back over medium heat, and whisk the sauce to keep it smooth. Add the vinegar and salt and simmer for at least 15 minutes until the gravy thickens.
- To Serve the Tostones: arrange the potatoes in a shallow casserole or in 6 individual bowls and drizzle the gravy over the top. Garnish with the cheese and minced green onions, if desired.

Steps:
- With a sharp small knife cut ends from each plantain and cut a lengthwise slit through skin. Cut plantains crosswise into 1-inch-thick pieces and, beginning at slit, pry skin from pieces. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat 1/2 inch oil over moderate heat until just hot enough to sizzle when a plantain piece is added. Fry plantains in batches, without crowding, until tender and just golden, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. With tongs transfer plantains as fried to paper towels to drain.
- Remove skillet from heat and reserve oil. With the bottom of a heavy saucepan or a wide solid metal spatula flatten plantains to 1/4 inch thick (about 3 inches in diameter). Into a bowl of warm salted water dip flattened plantains, 1 at a time, and drain them well on paper towels.
- Heat reserved oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and fry flattened plantains in batches, without crowding, until golden, about 3 minutes. With tongs transfer tostones as fried to paper towels to drain and season with salt if desired.
- Serve tostones immediately.
