Rice & plantains ?

Patacones mit mexican reis.

hahah some people laugh at this image. 

patacones… the big green plantain … *platano macho*  u cut it into slices…
1. fry them till they become pretty yellow
2. press them. (you can press them with the bottom of a glass… i have no idea why do i have a hammer in my kitchen but I'm glad) 
3. fry them again till crunchy. simple

… (. yes plantains from the tropics..i know... but thats why they are yellow. they were "waste" already in the turkish market dumpster... even if they are perfect !! but they normally should be still green when you do patacones… )

mix n smile 

mexican rice > 

fry a chopped onion for a while and FRY the rice a little bit till it gains color …. add boiling water…

get the water salty!   , a cube of vegetable concentrate optional , tomato juice , chili powder . 

double of water (in volume) than the rice 

and you can add little pieces of carrots or peas…. turn it to low heat… don't touch it !! till its done.
