Mofonguito Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Plantains

Peel the green plantains and cut them into chunks. In a large pot, boil the plantain chunks in salted water for about 15-20 minutes or until soft. Drain, and mash the plantains until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

2

Cook the Seafood and Chicken

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft. Add the cooked chicken, crab meat, and shrimp. Stir to combine.

3

Make the Creole Sauce

Add the tomato sauce, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Mix well and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the shrimp are cooked through and the flavors meld together.

4

Assemble the Mofonguitos

In a serving dish, create small mounds of the mashed plantains. Top each mound with the seafood and chicken mixture. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
