Vegan Mofongo (Fried Mashed Plantains) image

Mofongo is a fried plantain-based dish from Puerto Rico. It is typically made with fried green plantains mashed together in a pilon (which consists of a wooden mortar and pestle), with broth, garlic, olive oil, and pork cracklings or bits of bacon. This version is completely vegan. It was delicious and everyone enjoyed it!

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 large green plantains, coarsely chopped
1 (8 ounce) can organic tomato sauce
1 small bunch cilantro, chopped, or to taste
2 tablespoons homemade sofrito
2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste, divided
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (.18 ounce) packet sazon seasoning
½ cup vegetable broth, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a 1-quart pot with water; boil plantains with a pinch of salt until easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
  • Mash plantains with tomato sauce, cilantro, sofrito, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, and sazon in a mortar or glass bowl.

MOFONGO



Mofongo image

Mofongo might not look like much, but it sure is tasty. Mashed green plantains with garlic, olive oil and pork rinds (or bacon). Mofongo goes well with chicken or fish broth and can be stuffed with garlic shrimp, carne frita or octopus salad. It can also be formed into small balls and dropped in soups or served directly in a mortar. This is one of my many guilty pleasures!

SMASHED GARLIC PLANTAINS - MOFONGO



Smashed Garlic Plantains - Mofongo image

This is a classic Puerto Rican dish that is also popular in Cuba (similar to the Dominican "mangu"). If you don't have a tostonera (two pieces of wood hinged together to flatten plantains) use a glass or a small plate to flatten the plantains. If you don't use bacon and stop at step 2 you have tostones which also a great side dish.

Categories     Puerto Rican

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

salt
4 green plantains, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
4 cups beef stock or 4 cups chicken stock
oil (for deep frying)
4 slices thick bacon or 4 salt pork
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
fresh ground black pepper
chopped fresh cilantro leaves (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Mix handful of salt into a bowl of cold water and soak plantain chunks. Place stock in saucepan over low heat to warm. Bring at least 1 inch of oil to about 350 F degrees in a deep skillet.
  • Meanwhile, cook chicharrones or bacon until crisp; remove from heat and drain. Remove plantains from water, drain and dry them on towels, then deep fry the pieces (careful, they may spatter) until golden brown and tender. Remove from oil. Flatten the plantains using the bottom of a flat-bottomed glass bottle or a tostonera if you have one. Fry the plantains again for 30 seconds on each side until slightly crispy.
  • While the plantains are still hot use a wooden mortar and pestle to mash them with the garlic and the chicharrones. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • You can also use a food processor - add the plantains to food processor with bacon, garlic and some salt and pepper. You may have to work in batches. Process to consistency of mashed - not whipped - potatoes. Do not over process!
  • Place the mixture in soup bowls or wooden pilons, douse with broth, garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.

Provided by Clara Gonzalez

Categories     Main Course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound beef bones ([0.45 kg] any type would do)
1 tablespoon mashed garlic (cloves)
1 red onion (halved)
1 sprig cilantro
1 sprig of recao/cilantro ancho/culantro (optional)
¼ tsp oregano (dry, ground)
¾ tsp salt ((or more, to taste))
1 cup oil for frying ((vegetable oil))
4 plantain (green, unripe)
1 pound pork cracklings ((fried pork skin) minced )
4 garlic cloves (mashed (about 2 tablespoons))
1½ tsp salt ((or more, to taste))
4 plantain (green, unripe) (unpeeled)
1½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves (mashed (about 2 tablespoons))
1 1 pork cracklings ((fried pork skin) minced)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan heat the olive oil over medium heat. Brown the beef being careful that it does not burn. Add the garlic and onion and stir. Pour in 4 cups of water, and add cilantro, cilantro ancho, and oregano.Boil for an hour over low heat, topping off the water every once in a while to maintain the same level.Season with salt to taste. Sieve and remove the solids.
  • Heat oil in a small pot or saucepan over medium heat and fry the plantain slices till golden brown all over (3-5 mins). Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel.
  • Using a pilón (large mortar and pestle) or potato masher, crush the garlic and salt together, add in plantains and mash, then add pork cracklings and mash and crush to combine with the plantains (You might have to divide the ingredients and do it in 6 batches to fit in your pilón). It will have a dense consistency and will more or less form a ball.
  • Shape the mixture into 6 balls and place each in a small bowl.
  • Place the balls into the serving plates, and garnish with the broth, that you'll use to pour over and moisten the mofongo balls.
  • Wrap the plantains in aluminum foilBake plantains in a preheated oven at 400ºF [200ºC] for 35 minutes, or cook in an air fryer preheated to 350ºF [175ºC]
  • In the meantime, in a pan heat olive oil over very low heat. Stir in garlic and sprinkle with salt.Cover and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, and making sure the heat is low enough that the garlic does not burn or change to a dark color. Set aside.
  • Remove the plantains from the oven and let them cool down for 5 minutes. Carefully peel them.
  • Mash the plantains one by one in a mortar and pestle, adding to each plantain ¼ of the oil and garlic and ¼ of the pork cracklings while you mash and mix.Form each plantain mash into a dome, or scoop it into a bowl. Serve 4 servings of the broth - alongside each mofongo bowl - that you'll use to pour over and moisten the mofongo balls.
