Glad to see you're having fun! What is mofongo, Ms. Verges? - Experimentaholic
Thanks for checking in, Experimentaholic!! Yes, we're having a blast!
To answer your question, mofongo is a dish made from plantains...all you have to do is slice the plantains, fry (or boil) them in a pan, then put a couple of the plantains in a pilon (ie., mortar & pestle), add a touch of garlic, and pound the heck out of them. Then you take the plantain and roll it into a ball...and viola! You have mofongo!!

Oh, okay, Dr. Verges. Or perhaps it should be Dr. Professor Verges, just as my old chum Dr. Prof. Gigerenzer would have it. Will you make me Mofongo someday? You see, Dr. Prof. Verges, we can have a deal. I will teach you my family's pasta sauce and meatballs recipe if you teach me me something Puerto Rican. Mofongo sounds good to me! I love plantains.
Gorgeous! I'm just back from Florida, myself. Pics on my blog soon...but more of people than scenery. I can't compete with Puerto Rico!
