fried plantains with tuna


Ingredients:
1 can of YELI tuna
200 g mayonnaise
2 tbsp. Lemon juice
½ cup celery, diced
salt and pepper
½ cup red onions, diced
Oil for frying
4 green plantains

Preparation:
Crumble up the tuna and mix in next 5 ingredients. Once mixture has an even consistency refrigerate for 15 minutes.

To make the patacones first peel the plantains and cut them into cylinders about 3 cm high. Then fry the plantain in very hot oil for about 2 minutes. Remove them from the oil and flatten them into disks with a mallet or mortar. Once flattened put them back into the oil and fry them until they are golden brown. Remove them from the oil and allow them to cool on a paper towel. Then place a dollop of the tuna mixture on each patacon and enjoy.
