What it is
A keto-friendly reimagining of the iconic mofongo. Instead of traditional mashed plantains, this version uses crushed crispy pork rinds (chicharrón) mixed with abundant garlic, olive oil, and a savory chicken or beef broth, then formed into a classic mofongo dome.
Key ingredients
Pork rinds (chicharrón), garlic, olive oil, chicken or beef broth, salt, pepper. Optional: additional fried pork pieces.
How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Ensure no plantain is used at all. Confirm the broth/gravy is free of added sugars or carb-based thickeners (e.g., flour, cornstarch).
Watch out for
The most significant risk is accidental inclusion of plantain. Hidden thickeners or sugars in the broth/gravy.
