Mondongo is usually a soup that has tripe in it. Mofongo is different. it looks like a pile of cow sh1t or similar, not a soup at all.


a pile of cow cake? now that does not sound real encouraging, does it? trust me on this one, fish...it is far more appetizing than it looks.

I gagged some down one fine sunday afternoon about a year ago.

Maybe you should look into what cow turd looks like... very different from mofongo. Try mofongo with fried cheese and chicken mixed in. That other camaron, chicharron isn't my thing... oh and remember to ask for the bowl of "caldito" for it, if you don't it would not be a gratifying meal.

El caldito makes the difference. Or at least a mojo de ajo y cebolla. Otherwise it's dry. In my experience, the boricuas make the best mofongo.

just like they make the best roast pork. the stuff that pops up all over the place at Christmastime in the DR does not begin to compare. not in the same league with pernil.

I enjoy making it, brother. Season it the morning before. 8 to 12 hours in the oven. And lots and lots of love. One must always appropriate a little cuerito upon pulling it out of the oven. It disappears quickly.

low heat. maybe 275 degrees, tops. cook as long as it takes, depending on weight. God's gift to the human palate. and don't forget the oregano.

Here goes...

In the morning, I knife the bejeezus out of it. Peel back the cuero a little. Insert garlic into the "wounds". Make a paste of olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper and oregano and the slightest drizzle of white vinegar. Rub in in the wounds, under the cuero and all over, massaging it. Drizzle with orange juice of good quality. Put it in plastic wrap and refrigerate until early the next madrugada.

Preheat oven to 425. Place pernil in large pan. Lightly season with kosher salt. Bake, uncovered for 1 hour. Double-seal pan with foil. Return to oven. Lower to 225. Bake for 7 to 11 hours. Remove foil. Baste pernil. Broil on low heat and continue basting until the cuerito is hard when you tap on it with a metal spoon.
