This dish is my way of preparing a traditional puertorrican dish called "mofongo". It is a comfort food in my opinion since every time I prepare it it reminds me so much of home. If you have the time it is a must to try!
Ingredients
- 1 large green plantain or two small ones shopping list
- 3 large garlic cloves shopping list

- vegetable oi(frying) shopping list
- 1/2 a yellow onion shopping list
- salt shopping list
- a "pilon" or in other words a mortar and pestle is recommended shopping list
- crispy pork rinds 3-4 pieces ( preferably fresh from a good mexican supermarket) shopping list
How to make it
- peel the plantain and cut it into aprox. 1 inch pieces
- fry the plantain pieces until golden, do non let them brown
- take them out of the fryer and let them rest for 1 min
- in the "pilon" place the three gralic cloves, one teaspoon of salt and about 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil and mash them together
- when the oil and garlic are mashed add the plantain about 3 to four pieces at a time and continue mashing

Tosino not pork rinds because non-Puerto Rican users will use pork rinds out of a bag instead of the real deal.
