Mofongo Ingredients

Method

Mofongo Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Plantains

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

  2. 2

    Fry Plantains

    In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the plantain slices until golden and tender, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mash Plantains

    Remove the fried plantains and drain on paper towels. In a mortar and pestle (or a bowl), mash the plantains with the garlic cloves and pork cracklings until well combined.

  4. 4

    Add Broth

    Slowly add chicken broth to the mixture while mashing until you achieve a creamy consistency. Season with salt to taste.

Roasted Chicken Directions

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 6

    Prepare Chicken

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Rub the mixture evenly over the entire chicken.

  3. 7

    Roast Chicken

    Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 8

    Rest Chicken

    Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
