Recipe Summary 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!

Ingredients | Do Plantains Have Gluten

5 large green plantains, coarsely chopped

1 (8 ounce) can organic tomato sauce

1 small bunch cilantro, chopped, or to taste

2 tablespoons homemade sofrito

2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste, divided

1 clove garlic, minced

1 (.18 ounce) packet sazon seasoning

½ cup vegetable broth, or to taste

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Fill a 1-quart pot with water; boil plantains with a pinch of salt until easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.

Mash plantains with tomato sauce, cilantro, sofrito, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, and sazon in a mortar or glass bowl. Incorporate the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and enough vegetable broth to ensure that mofongo sticks together but is dry enough to easily slip out of a container. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve mofongo on top of the remaining 5 tablespoons vegetable broth in a bowl.

You can also mash the mofongo in in individual small mortars.
