Puerto Rican Tostones (Fried Plantains)
“Crispy fried plantains. A plantain is a very firm banana. Serve as side dish with your meal or as appetizers.” — Lymari
Classic Black Beans and Rice
Dawn‘s Note:
This is a typical dish served in Cuba or Puerto Rico, each country has their own method of preparation. You can flavor this dish with meat, but I left it out as I serve it as a side dish with my meats. It is an easy and healthy short cut and takes about 30 minutes to cook.
Pasteles (Green Banana and Pork Tamales)
These flavorful tamales are sold from street stands during the holidays in Puerto Rico.
