Mofongo Hot Spice Sauce

Originally from Puerto Rico, Mofongo is a bold, comforting meal made from green plantains, garlic, and your choice of savory fillings. At Plantain Hot Spot, we celebrate dishes like Mofongo that bring cultures together, one bite at a time.
Let’s dive into what makes this mashed plantain bowl so special—and why you need it in your life!
What is Mofongo?
Mofongo is made by frying green plantains until they’re golden and crispy, then mashing them with garlic, salt, olive oil, and often chicharrón (crispy pork skin) for added flavor. The mixture is shaped into a bowl or dome and filled with savory ingredients like:
-
🦐 Shrimp in garlic butter sauce
-
🐖 Slow-cooked pork or pernil
-
🍗 Grilled chicken or shredded beef
-
🍲 Hearty stews and broths
This dish is a perfect mix of texture and flavor—crispy, soft, garlicky, and savory all in one.
