Vegan Mofongo (Fried Mashed Plantains) image

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!

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • 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.

I'm not a vegan but I love mofongo so I decided to give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The mofongo was delicious and I couldn't tell that it was vegan. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it twice now and both times it was delicious. The plantains are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The garlic and cilantro add a nice touch of flavor. I highly recommend this recipe.

I was so excited to try this recipe but it turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly but the plantains didn't have any flavor. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
