Sounds like a tasty lil' treat -- But more like a dip than a full meal! -- :P


*Mofongo*
3 Plantains -- very green
1/2 Pound Pork rinds -- ground *
3 Cloves of garlic
1 Tablespoon Olive oil
Veg. oil for frying

* note: packaged pork rinds can be used.

Peel the plantains and cut into 1-inch diagonal pieces. Place them in 4 cups of water with 1 tsp. of salt and let stand for 15 minutes. Drain well.

Heat oil in a pan to 350~ and fry the plantains for about 15 minutes. Do not over-cook.
Remove the plantains from the pan and place on paper towels to drain.

Place the garlic in a food processor and mince well. Remove garlic from the processor and mix with the olive oil well.

If you have a large, wooden mortar and pestle; place 3 or 4 pieces of plantain in it and an equal amount of pork rind. Mix well. Add a little bit of the garlic oil and mix well.
(If you don't have a mortar; improvise)
Take 3 Tablespoons of the mixture and with your hands form a ball with it.
Repeat until you have used up all of the ingredients.
Serve hot!

The flow itself is un~inhibited -- brazen/bold -- and devil~may~care niceness! -- *smiles*
