In Valle del Cauca, Colombia, plantain tostadas are a traditional name for patacones: green plantain pieces that are fried, pressed flat, and fried again until golden and crisp. They are commonly served alongside home-style meals, beans, grilled meat, or fried fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe is simple, but the double-frying method is essential. It gives you a soft center with a crisp outside. Serve them plain with salt or add Colombian hogao, coste\u00f1o cheese, creamy suero coste\u00f1o, or hot sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 800 g firm green plantains (4 large green plantains)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 l vegetable oil for frying<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 5 g salt (1 teaspoon)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Peel the green plantains and cut them into pieces about 4 cm (1\u00bd inches) thick. Try to keep the pieces similar in size so they cook evenly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Heat the oil over medium-high heat and fry the plantain pieces for 5 to 6 minutes, until lightly golden and soft inside without becoming too dark. Remove them and drain on paper towels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Place each piece between two boards, sturdy plates, or sheets of parchment paper. Press carefully into rounds about 1 cm (\u215c inch) thick, making sure they do not break apart.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Return the pressed plantains to the oil and fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden, firm, and crisp on both sides. Remove them, drain on paper towels, and season with salt while still hot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Serve the plantain tostadas immediately for the best crisp texture. Enjoy them plain or with your preferred traditional toppings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Chef\u2019s tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Use fully green plantains with no yellow patches for the crispiest result.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Do not press the plantains before the first fry, or they may fall apart.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Keep the oil at medium-high heat so the plantains do not absorb too much oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Complete the second fry just before serving for the best crunch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Traditional variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        In Colombia, plantain tostadas can be served with hogao, grated coste\u00f1o cheese, suero coste\u00f1o, Colombian hot sauce, or avocado. They are also a common side dish for fried fish, meat, rice, and beans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        How to serve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Serve plantain tostadas hot as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. In Valle del Cauca, they are often paired with hogao, while on Colombia\u2019s Caribbean coast they are commonly enjoyed with suero coste\u00f1o and grated cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Recommended accompaniments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Colombian hogao.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Grated coste\u00f1o cheese.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Suero coste\u00f1o.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Colombian hot sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Sliced avocado.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Fried fish or grilled meat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Food tradition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Although this preparation is called patac\u00f3n in much of Colombia, in Valle del Cauca it is also known as tostada de pl\u00e1tano. The traditional technique is to fry the green plantain, press it flat, and fry it again for its signature crisp texture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
