Every Thursday in March, a friend and veteran favourite at the Dep — Cookie Martinez — is serving her special Patacon Pisao, a classic Latin American dish from the Colombian coast. Patacon starts by warming unripened green plantain to flatten, then fried until crispy and served with a range of tasty toppings.
It is such a well-loved dish, a popular salsa song is named after it!
