Mofongo
Yield 4 servings
Time About 1 hour
Mark Bittman
Mofongo is made with green plantains, which, unless you shop in a Latino market, is how you'll most often buy them!. If you keep them in the refrigerator, ripening can be retarded for weeks with no loss of quality!.
Ingredients
Salt
4 green plantains, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 pinch saffron, optional
4 cups well-flavored chicken stock
Oil for deep frying
4 thick slices bacon, or salt pork, prosciutto or cracklings
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
Freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
1!. Mix handful of salt into a bowl of cold water and soak plantain chunks!. Combine saffron, if using, and stock in saucepan over low heat, keep warm!. Bring at least 1 inch of oil to about 350 degrees in a deep skillet!.
2!. Meanwhile, cook bacon until crisp; remove and drain!. Remove plantain from water and drain, then deep fry the pieces (careful, they may spatter) until golden brown and tender!. While still hot, add 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!. Taste and adjust seasoning, then quickly shape into rough balls about the size of meatballs!.
3!. Place in soup bowls, douse with broth, garnish with cilantro and serve immediately!.

There are many varieties of Mofongo recipes, yet the one I learned the best is the very traditional way!. Here we go!.!.!.!.!.!.and PLEASE, DO NOT make this recipe with BOILED plantains!
Serve your Mofongo with anything you like but the most preferred side dishes are: Sautee Shrimp, Shrimp with butter and garlic sauce (yeahh mo' gaaahhlic), Carne frita (fried beef or pork chunks), Any Meat Stew, Lobster in butter sauce, Lobster in salsa, Ham hock stews, and Mondongo!.
Cooking Tips
1) As many people do, please do not soak peeled plantains in salt water!. There is no need to do so, but to increase the chance to burn yourself if water make contact with hot oil!. 2) Prepare all side dishes before hand!. Mofongo must be served sizzling hot or it will get hard!. 3) Unless you soak them in water, plantains will turn black if peeled before hand!. 4) Plantains (cooking bananas!.!.!.not eat-fresh Chiquita bananas) must be green!. Ripe to half ripe plantains will ruin your dish!. 5) You can use a food processor to coarsely grind the Chicharron and garlic, not the Mofongo itself!. 6) Mofongo prefersWooden Mortars!.
Ingredients
3 Large GREEN plantains, Salt to taste, 1/2 pound crisp Chicharrones (pork rinds), 5 cloves of garlic (more to taste), 1/4 cup olive oil, Lard, peanut or corn oil to fry!.
Preparation
Peel and cut the plantains as shown on picture on the right!. Deep fry in Lard or oil at medium heat!. Plantains should be cooked through but not crispy or browned (see pic)!. While the plantains are frying (10-15 mins) pound the Chicharrones and raw garlic in a mortar!. Add salt to taste!. Set aside!. Now is time to put everything together!.!.!.!.
Depending on the size of your mortar, add 2-3 pieces of fried plantains!. Pound until it starts loosing it's shape then add some of the garlic chicharron you just prepared!. Keep pounding until ingredients blend!. Repeat until plantains and Chicharrones mixture are finished!. Add Olive oil (a little at a time) to soften the Mofongo only if needed!. Serve directly in the Mortar or spoon out to form about 2 inches balls!. Serve with your favorite side side dish
