Prep:10 MIN Total : 20 MIN Servings 4 By Tablespoon Kitchens Updated July 20, 2017 Ingredients 4 green plantains 1 lb of chicharrón (crunchy pork skin) 3 garlic cloves, mashed 4 teaspoons of olive oil 2 cups frying oil Steps 1 Peel the plantains, cut them into 1 1/2-inch slices, soak them in salty water for 15 minutes, drain them and dry them before putting them on the hot skillet with oil. 2 Fry them for about 12 minutes at medium-low heat or until they turn light brown. Make sure to turn them. Do not brown them too much, so they are easy to mash. Stick a fork in them to check if they are done. 3 Remove them and mash them on a mortar. Add some mashed garlic and pieces of chicharrón. 4 Once you have mashed all the plantains, mold them into the shape of half sphere using your hands or a container. Serve hot with chicken broth or your favorite meat.
