Cuban recipe for spanish project

[Navy_Guy_Charles_Gardner9]

Hey, can someone help me getting a recipe for my spanish class because we have to do a country and many aspects of it. I was wondering if anyone knew any good recipes that might deal with something like chips and dip for my whole class because I have to cook something to eat.If someone help I would appreciate it.:sombrero:

Fried pork fat. (Chicharrones).

One of the types of fried plantain - tostones, chatinos, mariquitas.

"Recipe Name:
Tostones
Recipe Ingredients:
plantains (green, not black)
salted water (optional)
oil for frying
salt
Recipe Instructions:
Peel the plantains and slice into 1" pieces. You can soak them in salt
water up to an hour before cooking, but it is not necessary. Fry them in
oil in a frying pan on both sides, until almost cooked through. Take
them out of the frying pan, pat oil off, and "smoosh" them -down and to
the right or left- with a tostones maker or the bottom of a coffee mug.
(The plantain should now look like a patty - it might be necessary to
scrape off from the bottom of the mug with a fork.) Refry the tostones
until they are crispy. Pat off the excess oil again, and salt to taste.

If the plantain is brown, then peel it, slice it lengthwise and fry it.
It will be a sweet side dish for your meal. (I can't remember the name
for this.)
Recipe Comments:
Here's a recipe for the Puerto Rican (and other Caribbean nations)
version of fried plantains. They serve these in the place of french
fries in restaurants and at home."

It's Puerto Rican, but the Cubans do it much the same.

Chicharrones are fried pork rinds (skin of the pork) It's not like beef jerkey because it puffs up when fryed and becomes really crispy. (almost, but not exactly like cheetos)

Platanos maduros.
