Puerto Rican cuisine has transcended the Island's boundaries and can be found in several countries outside the archipelago. You will learn to cook traditional mofongo, a fried plantain-based dish, in this exciting activity. Similar dishes, known as fufu de plátano in Cuban cuisine and Mangú in the Dominican Republic, are made by boiling green plantain and then mashing it. Mofongo is generally made from fried green plantains (although fried yuca or breadfruit are possible), mashed together with broth, garlic, olive oil, and pork cracklings or bits of bacon. It is often filled with vegetables, chicken, crab, shrimp, or beef and served with fried meat and chicken broth soup. A local chef will help guests create their mofongo, and a bartender will teach attendees to prepare a refreshing Puerto Rican Sangria.
Activity includes: Old San Juan Evening Tour (2 hours), Mofongo & Sangria class, Three-course menu, and one glass of sangria.
