Ok, so your cholesterol is in good shape. You've been taking care of yourself and eating well and you feel this need for something fried, yes fried. Now, you are only allowed  to have only a small portion and just once in a while. We want to stay in control of our bodies. Right?
After cooking some arroz con gandules yeasterday with veal stew,and tostones, Idecided to cook something fast, and fun tonight. I fried some chicken and aranitas with cole slaw salad on the side.
Ingredients:

-Grate the plantains. Use the wide side of the grater.
-Add salt to the grated plantain.

-Take enough of the grated plantain to cover the palm of your hand shape and press.
-Put in the hot oil about 3 min each side or until is crunchy and golden.
