Mofongo

Method

Mofongo Preparation

  1. 1

    Fry Plantains

    Peel the green plantains and cut them into thick slices. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the plantain slices until they are golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Prepare Garlic

    In the same pan, add the garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Mash Mofongo

    In a large bowl, combine the fried plantains, sautéed garlic, chicken broth, salt, and pork cracklings. Using a mortar and pestle or a fork, mash the mixture until well combined and slightly chunky. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Fish Saute Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 5

    Cook Fish

    Season the fish fillets with salt, black pepper, and drizzle with lemon juice. Push the sautéed vegetables to the side of the skillet and place the fish fillets in the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  3. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Once the fish is cooked, gently mix it with the sautéed vegetables. Serve the fish sauté over a bed of mofongo, garnished with fresh cilantro.
