Mofongo with Fried Pork
I just returned home after spending a few days visiting Puerto Rico. While I was there, I found place which makes the perfect piña colada, with Don Q rum. It's Don Tello restaurant, across the bay from Old San Juan.
Alcohol should be accompanied by solid food, such as this mofongo with fried pork. Mofongo (the yellow stuff on the plate) is made with tostones, which are in turn made by frying discs cut from geen plaintains. The tostones are pressed into a mound called mofongo, which can be left like that of filled with some protein. In this case, fried pork supplies the protein.
Mofongo con Carne Frita. Acabo de regresar a casa después de pasar algunos dias visitando Puerto Rico. Estando allí, descubrí un lugar que hace la piña colada perfecta, con ron Don Q. Es el restaurantre de Don Tello, al otro lado de la bahía del Viejo San Juan.
El alcohol debe acompañarse con comida sólida, como este mofongo con carne frita. El mofongo (lo amarillo en el plato) se hace con tostones, que a su vez se hacen friendo discos cortados de plátanos verdes. Los tostones se presionan para hacer una masa que se puede dejar así o rellenarse con alguna proteina. En este caso, cerdo frito suple la proteina.
