]]>Puerto Ricans are a fine choice for friendly entertainment for a number of reasons. 1. They enjoy fun and frivolity so where you find them, there are good times close by. 2. They are feisty to the core so you rarely have to worry about getting beat up. Like guys from Boston, they love to mix it up, even the girls. Especially the girls. Your only question will be when you should drag your friend off the person he is turning into smooshed plantains.
The Mofongo’s roots come from the western African Fufu, mixed with Spanish and Taíno influences. Fufu is made from various starchy vegetables and was introduced to the Caribbean by Africans in the Spanish New World colonies. The origin of mofongo can be traced back to Puerto Rico.
Use the plantains as a filling in a small bowl like a pie crust. Add the chicken or beans into the plantain bowl and enjoy.
