Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Mojo

    In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Avocado

    Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork and mix in lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt.

  3. 3

    Fry the Plantains

    Peel the ripe plantains and cut them into thick diagonal slices. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the plantain slices until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Crab

    In a separate bowl, mix the crab meat with a tablespoon of the garlic mojo. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving plate, arrange the fried plantains and top them with the seasoned crab meat. Serve with the avocado mash and drizzle the remaining garlic mojo on top.
