PATACON
Steps:
- For the mojo: Combine the lime juice, green pepper, white onion, oil, garlic, japaleños, salt, and 1/3 cup of water in a medium bowl and whisk until the salt is dissolved.
- For the pork belly: Place the pork belly in the mojo and marinate for 1 hour.
- Bring 7 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add the pork belly and cook for 45 to 50 minutes. Drain and let cool for 20 minutes.
- Deep-fry the pork belly until golden brown.
- For the patacon: Deep-fry the plantains until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Place the fried plantains on a table in a straight line. Place a cheesecloth on top and use a rolling pin to mash plantains. Cool for 30 minutes, then fry again before serving.
- For the rice: Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the rice and salt and reduce the heat to medium low. Cover and cook until the rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- For the guacamole: Scoop the avocado flesh into a low serving bowl and mash with a fork. Add the olive oil, lime juice, jalapeño and some cilantro; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the pico de gallo: Put the tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno, olive oil, lime juice and some cilantro in a mixing bowl; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- To assemble: Arrange the deep-fried pork belly on the patacon. Serve with a side of rice, guacamole and pico de gallo.
PLANTAIN CHIPS PATACONES
Steps:
- Cut off the ends of the plantains and then carefully cut a slit down the length of the skin without cutting into the plantain itself. Using a wooden spoon, pry up the edges of the peel and pull off the skin. Once the peel is removed cut the plantain crosswise into 3 or 4 pieces, each about 2 to 3 inches long.
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet over high heat until it shimmers, about 3 minutes. Add the plantains and fry them until they turn golden on all sides, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then place between 2 sheets of parchment paper. Reduce the heat to medium.
- Flatten the plantains by pressing down on them with a heavy-bottomed pan. Return 1/2 of the flattened plantains to the oil and re-fry until deep golden on both sides, about 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer back to the paper towel-lined plate to drain and repeat with the remaining flattened plantains. Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.

PATACONES (FRIED PLANTAIN)
I learned how to make this from my Colombian mother-in-law. They are very simple to make, and taste great. They taste best when they are hot out of the skillet. We eat them a lot for breakfast, along with either fried eggs or scrambled eggs with tomatos and onion. They also make a great side dish.

Steps:
- Peel Plantain, and cut it width wise into 3 or 4 pieces.
- I have found that the easiest way to peel the plantain is to cut roughly 1/4" off of each end of the plantain (the very tips), and then carefully, without cutting into the plantain itself, slicing the skin down one side.
- Once you have slit the skin on one side, you can gently pry the peel off with your fingers.
- Heat 1" of vegetable oil on medium heat until hot.
- Fry plantain pieces on both sides for about 3 minutes, or until the pieces are golden.
- When they are golden, remove from pan and place onto a plate covered with a paper towel.
- Flatten the fried plantain.
- I do this by placing the pieces one at a time between 2 pieces of waxed paper, and flattening with my hands.
- Be careful not to put too much pressure, or the plantain will stick to the waxed paper.
- Just gently flatten them till they are about 1/4" thick.
- Place in the hot oil again and fry until both sides are golden brown.
- Drain on paper towel covered plate (be sure to change paper towels in between the 2 fryings) and sprinkle with salt.
- Serve immediately.
- For an extra special treat, eat the patacones with a thin slice of queso blanco (salty white cheese) on top.
