Dinner from Don Juan Cafe Restaurant, Syracuse, NY
Syracuse, N.Y. — Mashed plantains, pork skin, garlic and olive oil doesn’t sound like much, but in the mofongo from Don Juan Cafe Restaurant in Syracuse, it was a lively component.
A hearty scoop of the traditional Puerto Rican dish swam in cooking liquid from the braised chicken accompanying it. On its own, the mofongo was starchy with the barest hint of sweetness and banana flavor of the plantains, as pork fat and garlic dominated. Sitting in the sauce of the roasted chicken during the 10-minute car ride home permitted it to absorb flavors of tomato, onion and bell pepper, carrying it to the far edges of the dish.
