Ingredients
To make salami frito
- 1 pound Dominican salami
- 1 cup cooking oil for frying
To make tostones (fritos verdes)
- 2 plantain green, unripe
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon salt (or more, to taste)
Dip
- 1 tomato chopped
- 4 prigs parsley
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ teaspoons black pepper freshly-cracked or ground
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1. Fry salami
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the salami slices on both sides until lightly browned and the edges are darker.Let them rest on a paper towel to absorb excess oil while you make the tostones.

2. Peel the plantains
- Peel the plantains (see how to) and cut into 1 inch [2.5 cm] thick slices.
3. Make fritos verdes
- To fry the tostones, heat the oil over medium heat in a small saucepan, and fry the plantains till light golden (about 5 mins). Flatten the plantains using a tostonera (Amazon affiliate link) to about ¼" [0.5 cm] (I prefer thin tostones as they are crispier and stay so longer). You can also use the bottom of a big jar and press on a cutting table if you don't have a tostonera.Fry the plantains again until they turn golden yellow on both sides (about 5 minutes). Sprinkle with salt to taste and serve immediately. Best served freshly fried.
2. Make dipping sauce (optional)
- Pulse all the ingredients (tomato, parsley, garlic, pepper, olive oil) until thoroughly blended but not liquefied.
Notes
- My favorite tip to make crispy tostones is to flatten them as thinly as possible; this will keep them crispy longer, too.
