Chicken Tostadas Rancheros

This article talks about frying ripe plantains. And talks about the starch converting to sugar as the plantain ripens. The tostones I've had in a restsurant aren't sweet. http://latinfood.about.com/od/cookingbasicstips/a/Frying-Ripe-Plantains.htm

I have a greenish one - I try it out tomorrow.

That is the article I used to make mine. :) However I used my cast iron skillet and beef tallow.

Molov- how green were yours? Do you think they absorb less the greener they are?

Maybe not green but definitely not ripe. Yellow-green? I also did not use much oil, though I do remember having to add more. They were def not saturated. We dusted them with cinnamon which was absorbed by the oil to make a nice little glaze, then a little coarse Celtic salt.

Just about to fry them up. I am going to lower the heat a bit too. I have always been taught that lower heat =oil absorption but all the recipes say medium heat so I will go with that. I will be back to report the results. :0)

I made the chicken tostada recipe last night for dinner. Super yummy! I loved it. Husband liked it. Boys thought it was ok but would have preferred regular tortillas. I'll be making this again!

We just had the tostados recipe last night and loved them. Super delish! I unfortunately had to skip the marinade, as I can't have cilantro, but even with chicken simply spiced with cumin/saltpepper/chilli powder, they were really tasty.
