Avocados, bananas and plantains

[JAS_OH1]

Fried ripe plantains are called maduros by Cubans.

Double fried unripe plantains are called tostones.

My SIL is from Puerto Rico so I would guess it's the same/similar terminology...she just referred to them as fried plantains and I could see that they were ripe.

Recipe - Cuban Style Beef and Plantain Pie

Recipe - Oaxacan Mole Negro

I found some frozen mole in the deep freeze when I was looking for something else yesterday. Going on next menu.

What did you cook or eat today (June 2018)?

He never posted a recipe for the pastelon because I think it was too much effort for the result.

When you cooking that? I'll pop over 😂

Which one, the mole?

It's the only black mole I've ever liked.

Pastelon. But I'm on for the mole as well 😁

Won't be making the pastelon again. Too much effort for the result as I noted either in recipe thread or this one. I like other dishes better that take a lot of work so they'll get made long before pastelon.

I'm a bit lost. Is it the mole that you're making?

Yes, since I found a bag that had a bunch of 1/2 cup portions frozen in a silicon mold, then popped out and bagged.
