Mofongo

Method

Mofongo Preparation

  1. 1

    Fry Plantains

    Peel and slice the green plantains into thick rounds. In a large pot, heat the water and bring it to a boil. Add the sliced plantains and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Mash Ingredients

    In a large mortar and pestle (or a mixing bowl), combine the cooked plantains, garlic cloves, pork cracklings, olive oil, and salt. Mash everything together until well combined and smooth.

  3. 3

    Shape Mofongo

    Shape the mofongo mixture into small balls or mound it into a serving bowl. Set aside.

Ribeye Preparation

  1. 4

    Season the Steak

    Rub the ribeye steaks with olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Let the steaks marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 5

    Cook the Steak

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned ribeye steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved.

  3. 6

    Rest and Slice

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing them against the grain.
