How to make pyramid-shaped chicken mofongo?
To make pyramid-shaped chicken mofongo, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 ripe plantains
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of chicken broth
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
1. Peel the plantains and cut them into chunks. Place them in a pot of boiling water and cook until tender, approximately 15 minutes.
2. While the plantains are cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, and cumin.
3. In a separate pan, heat some vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, sautéing until golden brown.
4. Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the pan and cook until they are browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
5. Pour the chicken broth into the pan, cover, and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
6. Remove the chicken from the pan and shred it using two forks.
7. Drain the cooked plantains and reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
8. In a large bowl, mash the cooked plantains with the shredded chicken, garlic, and onion mixture. Add the reserved cooking liquid gradually, as necessary, to achieve a moist but firm consistency.
9. Let the mixture cool slightly until it is comfortable to handle. It should be pliable enough to shape into a pyramid.
10. Using your hands, take a portion of the plantain mixture and form it into a small pyramid shape. Repeat this with the remaining mixture.
11. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the pyramid-shaped mofongo into the pan and cook until golden brown on all sides.
12. Remove the chicken mofongo pyramids from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Your pyramid-shaped chicken mofongo is ready to be served! You can garnish it with some fresh cilantro or serve it alongside a side salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
