In this episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Guy Fieri heads back to a classic spot in Orlando, Florida, where chef Willie Garcia is serving up authentic Puerto Rican cuisine. Willie’s Pinchos is the place to be if you’re looking for traditional flavors straight from the island of Puerto Rico.
One of the standout dishes that Guy tries is the traditional plantain mofongo. Mofongo is a popular Puerto Rican dish made from fried and mashed green plantains, typically mixed with garlic, olive oil, and pork cracklings. It’s a flavorful and comforting dish that hits all the right notes.
To recreate this delicious dish at home, you’ll need:
– Green plantains
– Garlic
– Olive oil
– Pork cracklings
Instructions:
1. Start by peeling and chopping the green plantains into chunks.
2. Heat some olive oil in a pan and fry the plantain chunks until they are golden and crispy.
3. In a separate pan, sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
4. Using a mortar and pestle, mash the fried plantains with the sautéed garlic until they form a smooth mixture.
5. Add in the pork cracklings and continue mashing until well combined.
6. Serve the mofongo hot as a side dish or as a main course with your favorite protein.
This recipe is a great way to bring the flavors of Puerto Rico into your own kitchen. Whether you’re a fan of traditional Puerto Rican cuisine or just looking to try something new, this plantain mofongo is sure to impress your taste buds. So grab your apron and get cookin’ with this delicious recipe inspired by Guy Fieri’s recent visit to Willie’s Pinchos!
