Mofongo (The way to tell if somebody has visited Puerto Rico is to ask them about Mofongo! It's the most favored green plantain dish on the island!)
3 or 4 green plantains, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 tablespoonfuls of ground garlic
1 tablespoonful of olive oil
4 slices of bacon
Procedure:
Sautee the bacon slices until most of the fat has melted. Add the garlic and olive oil. While step one is going on, fry the plantain slices over medium to medium-high heat in a deep pan with your favorite frying oil. Remove when they begin to turn crisp. Using a large mortar, grind the plantain slices, a few at a time, adding the bacon and seasoning mixture slowly. The plantains should form a thick, hard blend.
To use as a side dish, form into a ball-shaped mass. OR: hollow each ball out in the middle and fill with any tasty dish in a sauce. Some favorites are shrimp (Mofongo Relleno de Camarones), lobster (Mofongo Relleno de Langosta) and stewed chicken (Mofongo Relleno de Pollo).
