Smashed Plantains, Engine No 3 inspired



Sometimes called fired plantains or tostones, Engine No 3 in Milwaukee serves these with cilantro rice and beans (see other blog post) along with eggs.  They make for the most awesome breakfast.  It is great for vegetarians, or I love mine with a side of chorizo.

Smart balance cooking oil
1 or more plantains
Garlic power


1 plantain, peel

Chop it in 1 inch pieces
Turn oil on high (till a drop of water makes it sizzle)
Add plantains for 5 minutes
Remove and place on wax paper
Cover with wax paper and smash with a mallet into 1/4 inch mini pancakes
Place back into the oil for a few more minutes
Remove and place on paper towel to absorb excess oil
