Mofongo

Mofongo is a popular Caribbean dish which originated in Puerto Rico, and later has been adapted to Dominican cuisine.[1] It is made from fried green plantains or fried yuca, seasoned with garlic, olive oil and pork cracklings, then mashed. Mofongo is sometimes cooked with bits of bacon. Mofongo is usually served with a fried meat and a chicken broth soup. It is often filled with chicken, shrimp, or beef. It is a variant of an African dish the African slaves introduced to the region called Fufu.[2]
