Plaintains are used frequently in Puerto Rican cooking, and mofongo is mashed plantains with garlic, olive oil, and pork cracklings that are shaped into individual balls or molded with a mortar and pestle into a bowl to hold meat or fish. The consistency of the stewed chicken is between simple roast chicken and asopao—the classic soupy Puerto-Rican stew.
