Comments on: Tostones with Roasted Garlic Mayo https://www.closetcooking.com/tostones-with-roasted-garlic-mayo/ Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

I finally did it tonight. They were definitely as good as I expected! The garlic mayonnaise made them even better.

Have you ever heard of/made a jibarito? It's a sandwich made from fried plantains in place of bread. The plantain is sliced lengthwise, but otherwise cooked like a tostone. It's filled with garlic mayo, steak (usually, but other meats are acceptable), lettuce, tomato, and onion.

I love tostones. My cousin's wife made them a few years ago at Thanksgiving.. I don't think they ever made it to the table!

I grew up eating fried plantains but I never really used any dips so I'll have to try that one.
Another thing you can do is buy slightly ripe plantains (they are usually yellow but not as much as bananas) so they will be sweet when cooked and eating them with either boiled/fried eggs or with fish and meat.

Mini cubanos, too!

Tostones are a must order dish when I am at a cuban place. I haven't had them in ages since there aren't very many cuban restaurants in the bay area.

I have to suggest that you make your own mayonnaise though. It makes a world of difference in the taste. Store bough mayonnaise is practically a whole different food! Here is a recipe for it that I put up recently. It's not hard at all! You really should give it a try with these tostones.
