TRADITIONAL PLANTAIN MOFONGO RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350 F.
- While the oil is heating up, peel the plantains and cut into 1-inch rounds.
- Fry the plantains until golden and tender, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Remove cooked plantains from the pan or fryer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
- Put the garlic paste in a large bowl or mortar and add the fried plantains, in batches, if necessary. Mash thoroughly.
- Add the pork rinds. Continue to mash and mix until all of the ingredients are combined. Add salt to taste.
- Shape the mofongo into 4 balls and serve.
- Alternatively, you can make the mofongo into a half-dome shape using a small condiment bowl as a mold; push a portion of mofongo down to the bottom of the bowl.
- With the back of a spoon, smooth over and level off the mix.
- Then use the spoon to scrape around the bowl and remove the mash in a half-dome shape.

MOFONGO
Mofongo might not look like much, but it sure is tasty. Mashed green plantains with garlic, olive oil and pork rinds (or bacon). Mofongo goes well with chicken or fish broth and can be stuffed with garlic shrimp, carne frita or octopus salad. It can also be formed into small balls and dropped in soups or served directly in a mortar. This is one of my many guilty pleasures!

Steps:
- Heat canola oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Mash the garlic with the olive oil in a mortar and pestle. Combine garlic mixture with the pork rinds in a large bowl; set aside.
- Fry the plantain chunks until golden and crispy, but not brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer the fried plantains into the bowl with the garlic mixture. Toss to coat. Mash the coated plantains with the mortar and pestle until smooth. Season with salt. Roll the plantain mixture into two large balls or several small balls before serving.

MOFONGO
When most people think of Puerto Rico, a few things come to mind: the beautiful beaches, piña coladas and mofongo. Over the years this dish of fried and mashed green plantains mixed with garlic and crispy pork skin has become the poster child of Puerto Rican cuisine. And I'm not unhappy about that; it's on my list of the foods I crave most. Mofongo is typically served with a broth (chicken or fish), but it's also served as an appetizer. In this version I call for margarine to be mixed into the mofongo before serving; this isn't traditional, but it's a tip I picked up from a famous Puerto Rican restaurant.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large saute pan or large, deep skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F. Fry the plantains in 2 batches until golden brown on each side, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to drain on paper towels. Set aside.
- Working in batches, crush the pork cracklings, garlic and salt in a wooden mortar and pestle (a pilon) or in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Add the plantains and mash together to incorporate. Mash in the margarine.
- Using your hands, shape the plantain mixture into 6 balls. Serve warm or hot.
MOIST MOFONGO
This is a moist version of mofongo, which is usually drier. It is very similar to the traditional Puerto Rican recipe; the main difference is that it is boiled rather than fried.
