Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Plantains

    Peel the green plantains and cut them into thick slices. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the plantain slices. Cook for about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Longaniza

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the longaniza sausage, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until browned. Add minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Mash the Plantains

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked plantains and the sausage mixture. Use a mortar and pestle or a fork to mash everything together. Gradually add chicken broth to achieve a creamy consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once the mofongo is well mixed, form into small balls or mounds. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve hot.
