Fried Green Plantains (Patacones) With Guacamole Recipe
- 1 ripe roma tomato, chopped
- 1 recipe
- 2 quarts vegetable oil
- 4 green plantains, peeled and cut into 1-inch segments
- Kosher salt
- Combine roma tomatoes and guacamole and set aside.
- Heat oil in a wok or Dutch oven until it registers 300u0b0F on an instant read or deep-fry thermometer. Add plantains and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Line your cutting board with plastic wrap. Smash plantains under a plastic wrap-lined metal can or heavy skillet to roughly 1/8th to 1/4-inch thickness. Alternatively, use a tortilla or patacon press.
- Heat oil up to 350u0b0F to 375u0b0F and return plantains to pot. Cook, stirring and flipping occasionally until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-line plate and immediately season with salt. Serve plantains with guacamole immediately.
