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.
