Mofongo Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Foodiepierluisi / All my dishes 5 months, 3 weeks ago 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! Prep:10m Cook:15m Servings:1	Foodiepierl

Ingredients

1 large green plantain or two small ones

3 large garlic cloves

olive oil

vegetable oi(frying)

1/2 a yellow onion

salt

a "pilon" or in other words a mortar and pestle is recommended

crispy pork rinds 3-4 pieces ( preferably fresh from a good mexican supermarket)

Directions

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

once you basically can't fit more plantain, depending on the size of the mortar, add the pieces of pork rinds and mash them in

if it seems to dry you may add a little more oil to the mix

mash until you have nice solid lump of plantain

then remove from the mortar, garnish and enjoy!
