Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Peel and Slice Plantains

    Begin by peeling the green plantains. Cut them into 1-inch thick slices.

  2. 2

    Fry Plantains

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the plantain slices and fry until they are golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Garlic

    While the plantains are frying, peel and mince the garlic cloves.

  4. 4

    Add Garlic and Cracklings

    Once the plantains are golden, add the minced garlic and pork cracklings to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

  5. 5

    Mash the Mixture

    Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the plantains, garlic, and pork cracklings together. Gradually add chicken broth as needed to achieve a smooth consistency.

  6. 6

    Season with Salt

    Add salt to taste, mixing well to ensure even seasoning.
