Patacon Pisao is a classic dish from the coast of Colombia: a green plantain that has been fried and pressed flat, then refried until crispy and served with a range of tasty toppings. It is such a well-loved dish, there is even a popular salsa song about it!

Check out this great video of Cookie preparing the dish, set to the song of the same name: http://youtu.be/wiROhB46eL0
