Preparation

Instructions for Preparing Mofongo de Pernil

1. Prepare the Plantains

Peel the green plantains and cut them into 1-inch thick slices. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the plantain slices and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender.

2. Mash the Plantains

Drain the plantains and return them to the pot. Add the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mash the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth consistency.

3. Combine with Pork

Incorporate the shredded pernil into the mashed plantains. Gradually add chicken broth to reach your desired consistency, mixing well.

4. Shape the Mofongo

Using a mold or your hands, shape the mofongo mixture into a mound or ball. Place it on a serving plate.

5. Garnish and Serve

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro. Serve hot as a side dish or main meal.
