Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tostones

    Peel the green plantains and cut them into 1-inch thick slices. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the plantain slices for about 3-4 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Fry the Tostones

    Using a tostonera or the bottom of a flat dish, flatten each fried plantain slice. Return to the hot oil and fry again for another 2-3 minutes until crispy. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meats

    In the same oil, fry the salami, longaniza, and res frita for about 4-5 minutes each until golden brown and fully cooked. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicharron

    Add the chicharron de pollo to the hot oil and fry for about 5-7 minutes until crispy and golden.

  5. 5

    Fry the Queso

    In a separate pan, fry the queso frito until golden and crispy on both sides.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Picadera

    On a large serving platter, arrange the fried salami, longaniza, res frita, chicharron de pollo, queso frito, and tostones. Serve hot and enjoy!
