Mofongo Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Plantains

    Peel the green plantains and cut them into 1-inch pieces.

  2. 2

    Boil Plantains

    In a pot, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add the plantain pieces and cook for about 15-20 minutes until tender.

  3. 3

    Sauté Garlic and Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and mixed vegetables. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Mash the Plantains

    Once the plantains are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Mash them using a potato masher or fork until smooth. Mix in sautéed vegetables, garlic, salt, and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Form Mofongo

    Shape the mashed plantains into a mound or use a mold to give them a shape. Allow to sit for a few minutes to firm up.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot.
