List of Ingredients




3 green plantains
3 tablespoons crushed garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 lb. chicharrón
Vegetable oil for frying

Peel the plantains, slice into 1 inch slices and fry over medium low heat until tender in the middle. Using a pilón (mortar) mash the garlic and the chicharron together stir in olive oil and salt, and set aside. Mash the plantain slices in the pilon adding a little bit of the garlic mixture. You will have to work a few slices at a time. Prepare them in balls & you can add stewed chicken or shrips as a filing. In that case serve the balls with the sauce on top. It is delicious. Serve with fried pork chunks (if not stuffed with meat)….Use this same recipe to make "Bolitas de Mofongo (small mofongo balls)" to add to stews. Shape the mixture into balls and drop in any soup. Simmer the soup with the balls without boiling for approximately 10 minutes before serving.
