Amarillos

By , About.com Guide

Definition:

My favorite accompaniment to any Latin American meal, amarillos are plantains fried until yellow-brown. When cooked to perfection, they are crispy on the outside and tender and sweet on the inside. Amarillos are related to tostones, which are plantains baked into a hard, flat patty.
