TOP 3 Dominican Style Mofongo recipes I have ever had! DELICIOUS!!!

pork cracklings

🥗Healthier: grilled chicken

💰Cheaper: tofu

Grilled chicken provides lean protein, while tofu offers a plant-based option.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil is healthier with a higher smoke point.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable broth reduces sodium and calories.

green plantains

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: regular potatoes

Sweet potatoes offer more nutrients.

Cut the green plantains into smaller pieces than for tostones.

Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fry the plantain pieces until golden brown, about 6 minutes, turning them to ensure even cooking.

Remove the fried plantains and drain on paper towels.

Add salt to the fried plantains immediately after frying.

In a mortar and pestle, add garlic and a pinch of salt, then mash until smooth.

Add the fried plantains to the garlic paste and continue mashing until well combined.

Mix in the pork cracklings and mash together with the plantains and garlic.

For optional topping, cut red onions and sweat them in vinegar, then set aside until serving.

Shape the mofongo mixture into a mound or bowl using your hands or a mold.
