Mini Mofongo's

Saturday I went to dinner with friends and family at a place called Mamajuana Cafe located in the Bronx. We all ordered appetizers and my favorite dish had to be the mini mofongos. Mofongo is a fried plantain-based dish from Puerto Rico. It is typically made with fried green plantains mashed together in a pilón (which consists of a wooden mortar and pestle), with broth, garlic, olive oil and pork cracklings (chicharron). It can be filled with vegetables, chicken, crab, shrimp, or beef. I especially love these because they can be made with anything and still taste delicious!
