[AND PEOPLE LOVE IT DON'T THEY? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. IT'S UNUSUAL. IT'S A CUISINE THAT I LIKE. AND THE WORLD IS A FINE PLACE, AND WORTH FIGHTING FOR. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THIS IS, BUT IT'S REALLY GOOD. IT'S CALLED A TOSTONE. YOU TAKE A PLANTAIN WHEN THEY'RE GREEN, CUT SLICES OUT OF 'EM, YOU FRY 'EM PARTIALLY, THEN YOU PRESS 'EM AND YOU SMASH 'EM DOWN, THEN YOU FRY 'EM AGAIN. AND IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE TORTILLA]

🤯Bless you @traderjoes for a big time snack flex. My Boricua DNA and tastebuds really thank you.👅👍If you don't know, now you know...Tostones are a gift from the sidedish heavens and up until yesterday I had only seen a few versions of "plantain chips" across the snack landscape that were OK depending on the brand. Nothing in the realm of being accused of being a snack version of a Tostone. But this TJ's product is a solid representation of a #tostone and hopefully this becomes a standard at #TraderJoes even if the Fearless Flyer products have toyed with my emotions before.🤞🏼😉 https://www.instagram.com/p/B68zvgNFtRq/?igshid=1344h6ox0y0kd

This is my last week of my first year of culinary school, and tonight was the culinary program's graduation gala. My International class created two of the canapes for the reception, and my vegan black bean tostone was quite a hit. This photo was taken after the event, so they're not looking super fresh, but they were nonetheless delicious. Last week, Chef said "I have plantains and I want a black bean puree on them. You figure out the rest." So basically, it was a blind bssket challenge, haha! After a couple of trial tastings, I settled on this version, so we made almost 500 for the event. A tostone is a twice-fried plantain with dip, so we worked the dip component into the individual bites. The fried plantains are topped with a rich black bean puree of grilled onions, jalapenos, garlic, an array of spices, white wine, veggie stock, lime, and honey. A bright mango corn salsa is nestled in the piped puree. Finally, I topped each tostone with a swirl of lime and cilantro cashew crema, which made for an amazing rich finish. A fried corn chip on the bottom added all the structure for each bite. The sweetness of the corn and plantains really sung together, and the bite of lime and cilantro cut through it all beautifully. The black bean puree is complex and savory, which tempers the bright and sweet notes. I couldn't have made these by myself and @foilliquor helped bring these babies to the platters -- thanks buddy! I was so happy to hear the feedback on this creation. Several people came back for seconds and thirds, and the dish might have helped me find a summer job! #vegan #tostone #plantain #blackbeans #cashews #corn #salsa #culinaryschool #foodporn https://www.instagram.com/p/BwVu147g3oX/?igshid=10ewavclwtnfb
