Since that first trip to Panama, I bought two plantain presses, one for flat patacones and the other one to make little baskets. A fun thing to serve with the little baskets is cerviche, which turns this seafood soup into a 'finger food'. They are also great served with warmed salsa. I agree with Chef Schwartz that Costa Rica has gotten expensive, but I highly recommend Panama. I’m hooked on patacones also, having first tried them at the Canopy Tower in Panama.
