Mofongo

Grilled Fish

Method

Mofongo Preparation

  1. 1

    Peeling and Preparing Plantains

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

  2. 2

    Frying Plantains

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the sliced plantains until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Mashing Ingredients

    In a mortar and pestle, or a mixing bowl, combine the fried plantains, garlic cloves, salt, and pork cracklings. Gradually add chicken broth to achieve a smooth, yet chunky consistency. Mash until well combined.

  4. 4

    Shaping Mofongo

    Shape the mofongo mixture into a mound or ball and set aside.

Grilled Fish Preparation

  1. 5

    Marinating Fish

    In a bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the fish filets and marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 6

    Grilling Fish

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated fish filets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Plating

  1. 7

    Serving Mofongo with Fish

    Place a mound of mofongo on a plate and top it with the grilled fish filet. Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon on the side.
