MOFONGO

Mofongo image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 cups vegetable oil
4 green plantains, peeled and cut into 1-inch rounds
1 pound pork cracklings or rinds
3 garlic cloves, mashed
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine, at room temperature

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.

Cut the ends of the plantains, peel them and cut into 1-inch thick pieces and let them soak in salted water for 15 minutes. Drain the plantains and dry them very well.
Heat oil in a pan and carefully add plantain slices to the hot oil and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the discs have turned a darker golden color but have not yet browned (do not let them brown!).You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork when they are ready. NOTE: Make sure there is sufficient fat in the pan, add additional if the plantains soak up too much.
When removing the plantains from the oil, place them on a napkin to drain the oil well before mashing them.
Add bacon to frying pan and cook 5 minutes, then add onions and red peppers, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking until bacon is crisp and onion is soft and caramelized. (If not using bacon just use oil with the vegetables and saute them)
