No need for a tostonera, you can make these toston cups using your citrus or lemon squeezer.
Fill these edible cups with your choice of protein like picadillo, vaca frita or ropa vieja.
– 2 or 3 large green plantains
– 3 cups of your choice of frying oil (vegetable oil, light olive oil, any oil with a high smoke point and minimal flavor)
– Salt
- Peel and cut your green plantains
- Fry your plantains for 2 minutes and remove from oil.
- Place the partially fried plantain inside a lemon squeezer and press down.
- Fry the plantain cups again until golden and crisp
