Total Time 20 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 green plantains
1 lb of chicharrón (crunchy pork skin)
3 garlic cloves, mashed
4 teaspoons of olive oil
2 cups frying oil

Steps:

  • Peel the plantains, cut them into 1 1/2-inch slices, soak them in salty water for 15 minutes, drain them and dry them before putting them on the hot skillet with oil.
  • Fry them for about 12 minutes at medium-low heat or until they turn light brown. Make sure to turn them. Do not brown them too much, so they are easy to mash. Stick a fork in them to check if they are done.
  • Remove them and mash them on a mortar. Add some mashed garlic and pieces of chicharrón.
  • Once you have mashed all the plantains, mold them into the shape of half sphere using your hands or a container. Serve hot with chicken broth or your favorite meat.
