Recipe: Garlic Tostones

Ingredients

Peel the plantains and cut them into 1-inch thick disks.
Mix the minced garlic with water and set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet until shiny and hot.
Fry the plantain disks for 3-5 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Remove the plantains and place them on a paper towel to drain.
Smash the fried plantains to make them half as thick and soak in garlic water for about a minute.
Remove, dry, and return to the frying pan.
Fry again for another 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
Drain on paper towels, sprinkle with sea salt, and serve with rice and beans.
