Default Re: platano hawaiano

Hua Moa is called platano Hawaiano and is sold here in So Fla in Latin grocery stores. They have gotten the first fry at med heat to soften, then the smash and finally frozen and bagged. All you have to do is finish them off with the second, or final, fry at med high heat.

They are ok -- like frozen precooked sausage biscuits are ok. However, doing them from scratch at home is way better, and they have been reputed as producing the best tasting tostones in the world. The Saba is right up there with the HM's for tostones.

If I ever can get my HM to produce the big fruit that IC gets in the DR I will be happy.
