SMASHED GARLIC PLANTAINS - MOFONGO
This is a classic Puerto Rican dish that is also popular in Cuba (similar to the Dominican "mangu"). If you don't have a tostonera (two pieces of wood hinged together to flatten plantains) use a glass or a small plate to flatten the plantains. If you don't use bacon and stop at step 2 you have tostones which also a great side dish.

Steps:
- Mix handful of salt into a bowl of cold water and soak plantain chunks. Place stock in saucepan over low heat to warm. Bring at least 1 inch of oil to about 350 F degrees in a deep skillet.
- Meanwhile, cook chicharrones or bacon until crisp; remove from heat and drain. Remove plantains from water, drain and dry them on towels, then deep fry the pieces (careful, they may spatter) until golden brown and tender. Remove from oil. Flatten the plantains using the bottom of a flat-bottomed glass bottle or a tostonera if you have one. Fry the plantains again for 30 seconds on each side until slightly crispy.
- While the plantains are still hot use a wooden mortar and pestle to mash them with the garlic and the chicharrones. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- You can also use a food processor - add the plantains 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. Do not over process!
- Place the mixture in soup bowls or wooden pilons, douse with broth, garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.

SMASHED PLANTAINS W/OLIVE OIL & GARLIC (FUFU)
This is a flavorful side dish to accompany any meat or pork. Its another favorite here in our home. The original recipe has crushed skinless pork rinds, but I make it without, due to my kids' taste (you can always add it).

Steps:
- In a large pot, boil the cut up plantains till they soften. The skin keeps it moist so leave it on. You'll know when its ready when the fork easily goes in.
- Meanwhile, on low heat, add the olive oil, smash the garlic cloves, and saute for a couple minutes. Only saute until combined and a little soft, do not burn it (it becomes bitter).
- Drain the plantains reserving 1 cup of the water and remove the peels. Put them back into the pot and mash like you would for mashed potatoes. Next, add the olive oil and garlic and keep mashing. While mashing, add the reserved water little by little till you get a nice thick consistency. Add salt & pepper to the taste and enjoy.
MOFONGO
Mofongo might not look like much, but it sure is tasty. Mashed green plantains with garlic, olive oil and pork rinds (or bacon). Mofongo goes well with chicken or fish broth and can be stuffed with garlic shrimp, carne frita or octopus salad. It can also be formed into small balls and dropped in soups or served directly in a mortar. This is one of my many guilty pleasures!

VEGAN MOFONGO (FRIED MASHED PLANTAINS)
Mofongo is a fried plantain-based dish from Puerto Rico. It is typically made with fried green plantains mashed together in a pilon (which consists of a wooden mortar and pestle), with broth, garlic, olive oil, and pork cracklings or bits of bacon. This version is completely vegan. It was delicious and everyone enjoyed it!
