Tostone Tostada with Stewed Chicken and Parsnip Hot Sauce

The app uses fried plantains as the bread for a crostini

Ingredients

  • 2 Parsnips
  • 4 Ounces Pimento with juices
  • 1 Clove Garlic
  • 1 Teaspoon Tabasco
  • 2 Tablespoons Red Vinegar about
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 28 Ounces Canned Diced Tomato
  • 2 Teaspoons Paprika
  • 1 Teaspoon Chile Powder
  • Yellow Plantains
  • Oil for Frying

Instructions

  • The sauce is loosely based on a peruvian hot sauce that has carrots and aji peppers. I used a couple parsnips roasted until soft, a jar of pimentos with the juices, a clove of garlic, Tabasco sauce, and vinegar. Blend till smooth.
  • The chicken was some thighs in with browned onions, garlic, and canned diced tomatoes. A bit of paprika and chile powder as well.
  • Tostones are easy. Peel a green plantain, cut into segments about an inch and a half long. Fry in shallow oil. Flip once. Just as you start to see evidence of browning, take them out and smash them one by one under a plate. Fry again until browned and crispy. Be sure to salt as they come out of the oil.
  • Build the tostadas and top with some guac
