Vegan Mofongo (Fried Mashed Plantains)

Vegan Mofongo (Fried Mashed Plantains)
  • 5 large green plantains, coarsely chopped
  • 1 (8 ounce) can organic tomato sauce
  • 1 small bunch cilantro, chopped, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons homemade sofrito
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste, divided
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 (.18 ounce) packet sazon seasoning
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste


  1. Fill a 1-quart pot with water; boil plantains with a pinch of salt until easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
  2. Mash plantains with tomato sauce, cilantro, sofrito, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, and sazon in a mortar or glass bowl. Incorporate the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and enough vegetable broth to ensure that mofongo sticks together but is dry enough to easily slip out of a container. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Serve mofongo on top of the remaining 5 tablespoons vegetable broth in a bowl.
