Ingredients Needed for Tostones:

• 2 Green Plantains
• veggie oil
• Sea Salt
• Island Fever Salsa
• Adobo Seasoning

What to do:

1. Heat your veggie oil – you want enough to almost cover the plantains.
2. Peel plantains and cut into slices, about 1 inch thick.
3. Fry your cut plantains on each side until slightly browned.  You know they are done when you can get a fork in them. Drain on paper towels.
4. Smash with a mallet
5. Quickly soak them in a mixture of water and adobo seasoning.  This will make them more flavorful and extra crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.
6. Fry again for another 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. They will be done when you tap them with a fork and fork does not enter.
7. Drain and season with some salt.
8. If you are going to top your tostones with a bit of the salsa, only serve immediately after topping them – you don’t want to make them soggy! Otherwise, put tostones out for guests to dip into the salsa themselves.

Step One: Prepping the Mango Salsa

Ingredients

• 1/2 mango, 1/4-inch diced
• 1/4 red onion, 1/4-inch diced
• 1/4 red bell pepper, 1/4-inch diced
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• Pinch sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

In a bowl, mix together mango, red onion, bell pepper, lime juice, sugar, salt, and pepper using a wooden spoon. Set aside until ready for use.

Step Two: Building the Sandwich

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon Caribbean Trading Company Island Magic Grill Seasoning
• 8 slices fresh Italian bread
• 1/4 cup honey mustard
• 8 slices Swiss cheese, (8 ounces)

In a small bowl, mix the butter and Caribbean Trading Company Sweet Orange Habanero Seasoning together. Spread butter mixture on 1 side of each slice of bread. Place 4 slices of bread on your work surface, buttered side down and spread the honey mustard on the side facing up. Layer about 2 tablespoons of the mango salsa on top of the honey mustard followed by the Swiss cheese. Place the remaining 4 bread slices on top, buttered side up.

Step Three: Grilling the Swiss Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Add the remaining butter mixture to a nonstick skillet on medium heat for 2 minutes. Put the sandwiches in the skillet and cover with lid to ensure even cooking. Flip the sandwiches when underside is golden and press very firmly, cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Turn once more, press with a spatula, and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from pan, cut diagonally and garnish with left over mango salsa.
