Patacones” (pataconesse) are fried bananas  in a certain way (flattened), from Colombia! I got this recipe from a very good friend of mine, Diana, who I would like to thank for showing me live how to do it and for giving me her family tips along the way! Patacones are delicious as is or as a perfect accompaniment to Colombian dishes! It’s deliciously crunchy!<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

Patacones recipe for 4 people:<\/h2>\n
 <\/div>\n
-4 green plantains <\/strong><\/div>\n
-2 or 3 cloves of garlic<\/strong><\/div>\n
-oil, salt…and that’s it!<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

The instructions<\/h2>\n
\n
 <\/div>\n
Here are the green bananas you should get! For those new to this banana, it is nothing like the classic yellow banana! The texture is a bit dry and sticky.<\/em><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Cut off the ends of each banana and slit the surface of the skin lengthwise.<\/em><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Cut slices of 2 centimeters wide. <\/em><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
And put the pieces in a pan filled with water and a few crushed garlic cloves (2 or 3). <\/em><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
In a large frying pan or deep fryer (or even a wok!), heat a good amount of oil. When the oil is hot, add the banana pieces (in two or three batches, depending on the amount to be fried!).  <\/em><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Turn them over from time to time. The sinews, which have a pale pink color, will turn yellow. Let them fry for 1 minute when they have this color. <\/em><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Let cool on paper towels. <\/em><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
When the banana stalks are manageable, take a plastic bag (not the noisy ones, but more like a fnac bag!) and put a piece on its edge in the plastic bag. With the cutting board, crush firmly. <\/em><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The result is a flat patac\u00f3n! <\/em><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Proceed in the same way for all pieces. <\/em><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Return the oil to the heat and fry the patacones again for 5 minutes, turning them over halfway through the cooking time. <\/em><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Drain on a plate lined with paper towels after removing from oil bath. <\/em><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Add salt as you would for French fries and enjoy when it’s hot!<\/em> Thank you Diana!!!<\/strong><\/div>\n
