How to make Authentic Puerto Rican Mofongo 

Thank you soo much! I'm a single father raising two kids and i try my best to always give them home cooked meals. Because of you they think i'm the greatest chef ever! I want to continue the P.R. heritage with them. And you have made that possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Thank you so much, this video means more to me than you could imagine. I am half Puerto Rican and was abandoned by my PR family, so I missed out on the culture when I was young. This video helps me learn more about my heritage and keep the culture alive. Thank you 🙏🏻❤️

I’m African American and watch Sanford and Son reruns whenever I have time. Some episodes feature their Puerto Rican neighbor who makes Mofongo ! I just had to see what it was and how it’s made ! Looks yummy !

Thank you so much I always watching your video I’m from korea and I’m married Puertorican .i start learning about pr food

Thank goodness for you patiently announcing step by step 😊

Mofongo is one of my favorite dishes. It takes me back to a visit to Puerto Rico in 1982 (I just aged myself a bit) and we drove around the island. I was so full, because we ate constantly so I ordered mofongo in chicken broth. The portion was huge but it was so good that I just kept eating. Then I took a nap on the beach! 🌴🌴🌴🌴

am Puerto Rican and married to a Irish American woman, she loved the way i made mofongo which i learned from my grandma. thank you so much love and VIVA Puerto Rico :)

Watching this 11 years after she originally posted and hoping that she knows how helpful this video has been for so many and I hope that o 1 million views of benefiting her financially

Gracias por esta receta. Soy Boricua 100%. Y naci en Puerto Rico pero fuy race en Chicago y no se cocinar muchas cosas tipicas :( gracias por tu recesa I LOVE IT !!!!!!!

I just had mofongo for the first time today. It was fantastic and I'm in love. Your recipe was the first one I found, so thank you! More importantly, "Now I know what time it is"".

@Ana Rivera I lived in Puerto Rico 26 years and I've seen mofongo served many different ways. Thank you for sharing your version!

This was awesome...... I'm 🇮🇳 (INDIAN) but i love to explore, during a read I came across the recipe named Mofongos, and I've tried it twice. ....... Beautiful and delicacy 🤤🤤

I just want to say thank you so much for doing these videos of my fav Puerto Rican dishes. My mother never made any of these dishes to teach me , only my grandmothers and restaurants so I thank you so much because now I can make it for my family. This is the second dish I have made from you and they came out perfect . So delicious.

I just love how you explain everything. Thank you for making it easier. Will be checking you videos constantly

I love how you give thorough directions as you go. Thanks for this

I always come to your channel for my favorite Puerto Rican recipes. Thank you!

Hi there, happy new year..just a small tip if you dip the platanos or green bananas in hot water just for a lil while they will be easier to peel. That tip comes from my parents and their parents..

One of the biggest things I miss about growing up in the South Bronx.

I just started watching your videos and I love them! My husband and I took a trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico and fell in love! I love the culture and the FOOOOOOD! So happy I found you and your videos so I can bring the amazing Puerto Rican flavors to my home! I love that you make it look so easy!

Thank you for sharing this! I’m Puerto Rican and I loved sharing this with my kids! We added cilantro and it was awesome

Thank you for this lesson. I just got back from Puerto Rico and I think I had this 2 days in a row. I really like the Mofongo with Shrimp and garlic sauce. I am trying this on Sunday.

Great videos! I love mofongo, when I make it I also add fresh cilantro and fresh pork (fat) along with the garlic, oil and salt. Yum!

Blown Out Of The Water! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT!! EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!!

Thank You for uploading this video on how to make 'Mofongo. I never got tired of it while at Puerto Rico.

Thank you for sharing your recipe I miss my abuelitas cooking

The best thing a mother can do for a daughter is teach her to cook traditional meal no matter what ethnicity. This country is so dependent on processed microwave food and I see young girls getting married who don't even know how to boil an egg. I cook everything from scratch and all kinds of food, Asian, Spanish, Irish, Italian etc etc. I'm Puerto rican and I love mofongo but I've never made it before. I make everything else but never that. I want to make some next week and I love your video. I do have one question. Can you boil the plantains and put them in a food processor with chicharron and the garlic or would that be a no no. Thanks much

Omg i cant wait to make your recipes are so easy and simple thanks for sharing

I always come back to this recipe .. each time I make mofongo .. thank you!!

I had my first dish of Mofongo with pollo guisado, today and it was absolutely delicious ! TFS your recipe 🙏🏽💙

I must try Mofongo. Thank you!!! Looks delicious

I thank you for teaching me how to do many puerto rican dishes n I truly enjoy the authentic flavors. ❤ 🇵🇷 🇺🇸

Puerto rican food rocks! Thank you for the step by step directions!!

I could eat this all day, thanks for the instructions!

Cool, I always remember Freddy Prinze’s character talking about mofongo on Sanford and Son, now I know what it is.😀

Wonderful videos of the plantains an mofongo. thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I really liked learning about plantains and how to pronounce their names. I have never tried one but I'd like to. Thank you for sharing.

You guys makes me hungry! Yummy in my tummy!

I like how you explain the tradition and the measurement.

You can cut off the ends and microwave for 20 secs and the skin will come right off without cooking it. Saves you a lot of time and risk of getting cut. Love your channel!

Thank you so much. I did this today for the very first time and it turned out great. My wife loves it. Thank you. God bless you. You are appreciated.

Thank you for the Mofongo video. By the way, your Picadillo looks "PODEROSO" l will impress my wife tonight with this wonderful Puerto Rican Dish. Greeting from Nicaragua.

That’s so cool! I thought it was harder. I’m going to have to try it.

I love your tone, and energy when instructing your tutorials . Tried your papa rellena recipe for the first time. They came out awesome. Thank you. Making this pastelon tonight.

I sincerely want to thank you for sharing your recipes...I grew up in jersey and now in the Midwest and I miss the foods I grew up with. And of course out here they don't have good food. So thank you...I adore youuuuuuu...so far I've made three dishes and they were SO good

I love plantain. I never have a Mofongo. I will try to make this. Thanks.

I really enjoyed this video me senti como que estoy encasa de mi tia!! love the details! Gracias y buen provecho!

¡Es la primera ves que veo Mofongo servido con cardo de pollo o Mayo Ketchup! Mami y la familia en Mayaqüez siempre servía el Mofongo con caldo de abichuelas rojas o un caldo de carne res. Igual, la cáscara de puerco fue lo que usamos, no chicharrones en bolsa. Le regamos cáscara de puerco con pedazos de pernil. Siempre se reservaba la cáscara después de hasar un pernil para hacer el mofongo. ¡Me has recordodos de memorias muy hermosas! Gracias.

I don't remember my mother ever making 'Mofongo' even though I knew it was Puerto Rican. And I had never heard of 'Piononos' when I first tried them 20 years ago. Actually, I never knew that Puerto Ricans made "Chicharon de Pollo'(I love it). There are so many foods attributed to Puerto Rico that I did not know. I recently made the things that I do remember(all according to your specifications Ida). Made my favorite: Pollo guisado(pardon my spelling), Chicken soup-to your specifications and got emotional when you posted the simple recipe for 'Surollitos de maiz' which I haven't had in decades. All of it is quick and simple. Trying to remember good memories and trying or forget bad ones by cooking these foods- Puerto Rican boy and yes, I do miss my mother!

I can taste it! Wow, I can't wait to make it again. Thanks.:)

I'm all up for trying new things, this is on my list for tomorrow...Thank you miss mam..;) Very nicely explained.

You are a wonderful teacher. Clear instructions and easy to follow pace. Bravo!

I love your cooking, very simple, but delicious.

Aww thanks for this! I’m making this for my dad who’s from Puerto Rico and just making it for appreciation, we haven’t got a chance to visit the island for years, so I wanted him to feel like he’s back at home:)

Look so good - Plantains are the absolute best!!!!

“See right now they tur-“ Moves camera to show time. “And now you know the time” This had me dyingggg!!!! I had to rewind like 5 times just to get all my laugh out.

This has become a new favorite in our home! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and knowledge. Also, on a side note, you have beautiful hands! Food is best when served by hands of love.

Thank you to take your time and share this puertorrican recipe . The peoples now can made and enjoy mofongo in their house . Thank you from Cataño Puerto Rico.

im puerto rican and trying to get more in touch with my culture, thank you for making these videos!

Um k rico se ve, yo soy dominicana y ya he comido mangu pero no sabia como hacer mofongo pero gracias a este video se como se hace un mofongo. Gracias por el viddo, me encantó

Consejito: antes de comensar a pelar los platanos, labarse las manos con aceite de cocinar evita a que se te manchen las manos. Tambien como metodo mas facil y rapido de pelar los platanos, cuando hagas el corte iniciatiovo, voltea el platano y con una cuchilla de mantequilla lo vas pelando. Espero que les ayude este consejo.

My favorite and my filipina wife love it also . Good job

I love mofongo and I like your technique, I am sure I am going to love making it your way. Thanks for the recipe

Me encanta este channel :) rica comida y muy clara la explicación.. :)

This is one of my favorites! I've eaten it in a couple of restaurants, and it was not good. So I make it to my taste and I use a lot of what you do, so I know that it's good. I am so hungry right now. Great job. You are so good on video.

You're the REAL DEAL. I really enjoy watching you. You're thorough, & clear. You make me sooo hungry! Your videos are wonderful! Keep 'em coming!

Thank you! My girlfriend and I went to Puerto Rico and I fell in love with the food. She grew up with Puerto Rican food so I'm hoping to learn and cook for her!

I love your channel. Thank you. Puerto Rican food is my absolute favorite and I want to learn the correct way to make it all and you my dear are a wonderful teacher

This video was so helpful! I love all your cooking videos, easy to follow & straight forward, Thank you!!!

At this point it's basically done? It's done when i'm done eating it 😁 . Thanks again for another Great Video 👍

Perfect, I would add the shrimp inside the well of the mofongo as a little bowl. This was easy, gracias.

LOVE IT !

I'm definitely going to make this. Thanks so much.

Great video! Very informative!!

What is considered healthy changes with the tide. Mofongo is a dish that is traditional, and I don't know anyone that eats it every day. Lo considero uno de los placeres mas sublimes de la vida, comer un mofonguito con caldito....vale la pena.

excellent recipe! simple and easy to follow, thanks!

Gracias, for sharing. Love this video. Yum, Yum in the tummy.

Note to self: don't smash the platanos so hard the garlic infused olive oil jumps at you! Jajaja great recipe! I made this tonight and it was just like I remembered it as a child!

te kedo de show muy bn explicado paso a paso se ve riko

You explained it so well!!! Thank you

That looks really good...muchas gracias!
