puerto rican dish

This is my quick version of Puerto Rican style beans, which I make with either pink or red canned beans and diced potatoes, perfect when you need a quick side.

Puerto Rican Style Beans

onion

cubanelle (banana pepper)

garlic

cilantro

For the beans:

olive oil

15.5 oz can pink or red kidney beans (I like Goya)

tomato sauce

potato

tbsp Sazon seasoning

bay leaf

oregano

kosher salt (to taste)

black pepper (to taste)

In a mini food processor, chop onions, garlic, pepper and cilantro.

Add oil to a medium saucepan and sauté the chopped ingredients, cook on medium heat until soft,  about 2 minutes.

Add the beans (not drained) to the saucepan along with 3/4 cup of water.

Add tomato sauce, potato, sazon, bay leaf, oregano, salt if needed and pinch of black pepper.

Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for about 20 minutes, or until potatoes are soft.

Discard bay leaf and serve over rice if you wish.

beef bones ([0.45 kg] any type would do)

recao/cilantro ancho/culantro (optional)

oregano (dry, ground)

plantain (green, unripe)

pork pork skin) minced)

garlic (mashed (about 2 tablespoons))

plantain (green, unripe) (unpeeled)

salt

Make broth

In a large saucepan heat the olive oil over medium heat. Brown the beef being careful that it does not burn. Add the garlic and onion and stir. Pour in 4 cups of water, and add cilantro, cilantro ancho, and oregano.Boil for an hour over low heat, topping off the water every once in a while to maintain the same level.Season with salt to taste. Sieve and remove the solids.

How to make the broth

Fry plantains

Heat oil in a small pot or saucepan over medium heat and fry the plantain slices till golden brown all over (3-5 mins). Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel.

Crush plantains

Using a pilón (large mortar and pestle) or potato masher, crush the garlic and salt together, add in plantains and mash, then add pork cracklings and mash and crush to combine with the plantains (You might have to divide the ingredients and do it in 6 batches to fit in your pilón). It will have a dense consistency and will more or less form a ball.

Shape mofongo

Shape the mixture into 6 balls and place each in a small bowl.

Serve

Place the balls into the serving plates, and garnish with the broth, that you&#39;ll use to pour over and moisten the mofongo balls.

Roast

Wrap the plantains in aluminum foilBake plantains in a preheated oven at 400ºF [200ºC] for 35 minutes, or cook in an air fryer preheated to 350ºF [175ºC]

Make garlic

In the meantime, in a pan heat olive oil over very low heat. Stir in garlic and sprinkle with salt.Cover and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, and making sure the heat is low enough that the garlic does not burn or change to a dark color. Set aside.

cool

Remove the plantains from the oven and let them cool down for 5 minutes. Carefully peel them.

Mash

Mash the plantains one by one in a mortar and pestle, adding to each plantain ¼ of the oil and garlic and ¼ of the pork cracklings while you mash and mix.Form each plantain mash into a dome, or scoop it into a bowl. Serve 4 servings of the broth – alongside each mofongo bowl –  that you&#39;ll use to pour over and moisten the mofongo balls.
