âðīâ âðīâ Mofongo
I realized that I missed a new national day yesterday . Mofongo is a traditional Puerto Rican dish made from fried plantains smashed with pork and garlic. Its origins can be traced to fufu, the West African staple. Like fufu, mofongo is made using a similar method of mashing a starchy vegetable, then adding liquid and some type of animal fat to soften the mixture. In the Caribbean, it has been made with the vegetation available in the region. Plantains are most often used, but other starchy root vegetables native to the island utilized by the indigenous TaÃnos can also be used. Mofongo is commonly made by using a pilÃģn â a wooden mortar and pestle â to smash fried green plantains with pork and garlic. In Puerto Rico, mofongo is typically an entrÃĐe for dinner or lunch, but it can be also served as a side. At La Placita, my restaurant in Miami, we make it with green plantain, yuca or sweet plantain. For the fat and seasoning, we use pork belly confit, garlic, butter and olive oil. We feature six different toppings that can accompany the mofongo, including ropa vieja (shredded beef), jueyes (crab), carne frita (fried pork chunks), camarones al ajillo (shrimp in garlic sauce), carrucho (conch) and caldo de pollo (chicken stew). The recipes featured here is for mofongo that can be paired with your choice of protein or vegetable. Have you ever had a chance to try this dish? It is also prepared at local Caribean resturants . I would strongly suggest you try it at your earliest opportunity
