Mofongo

Mofongo is a traditional Puerto Rican dish made by mashing fried green plantains with garlic, olive oil, and pork cracklings or other savory ingredients. The mashed mixture is then shaped into a ball or mound and often served as a centerpiece, accompanied by broth, meats, or vegetables. Its rich, savory flavor and hearty texture make it a popular comfort food that reflects Puerto Rico's culinary heritage. Mofongo can also be customized with different fillings or toppings, offering a versatile and flavorful representation of Caribbean cuisine.
