First of all Puerto Rican Mofongo does not contain chiles. We might put hot sauce in it if we want but it's usually on the side. (Pice
Secondly, our Mofongo contains Chicharron.
I do some of this but my recipe is very different. I make Fish Stock seasoned Puerto Rican Style and i cook my chicharron the day before because that takes at least 3 hours to bake.
I do other stuff to but if I tell ya...........LOL.
Sorry it's all my own, but everyone who taste it, LOVES IT.

I was happy to hear mofongo but when I saw how it was shown on the program I was a little dissapointed, however,with watching somebody do it for you only once you won't learn it correctly and I can say that it was nice to see somebody give a puertorican dish on a show. If you write me back I can give you a couple of hints that will make a great mofongo and very similar of what you did,plus how to make the pork puertorican style very easy. Thank you for time !

Everything was correct until I saw chipotles ... we don't use chipotles on the island!!! Chipotles are Mexican !!! That is not used in "Cocina Criolla" and if you don't believe me look up this cook book Cocina Criolla by Carmen Aboy Valldejuli page 188.
