👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 1

   Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced ripe plantains and fry until golden brown on both sides and tender. This may take about 5-7 minutes per side.

   ⏱️ 10-14 minutes

   💡 전문가 팁: Ensure plantains are ripe for sweetness and tenderness.
2. 2

   Remove plantains from the skillet and place them in a mortar (pilón) or a sturdy bowl. Add the minced garlic and crushed pork cracklings (if using).

   💡 전문가 팁: A traditional pilón is ideal for mashing.
3. 3

   Begin mashing the plantains with the garlic and cracklings. Add salt to taste. Continue mashing until you achieve a coarse, slightly lumpy texture. Do not over-mash into a paste.

   💡 전문가 팁: The goal is a texture that holds together but is not completely smooth.
4. 4

   Shape the mofongo mixture into a ball or a mold. You can use a small bowl or a ramekin to form it.

5. 5

   Serve immediately. Mofongo de plátanos maduros can be served as is, or with a side of warm chicken broth poured into the well (if made) or on the side.

   💡 전문가 팁: This dish pairs well with grilled meats or seafood.
