Thank you soo much! I'm a single father raising two kids and i try my best to always give them home cooked meals. Because of you they think i'm the greatest chef ever! I want to continue the P.R. heritage with them. And you have made that possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Thank you so much, this video means more to me than you could imagine. I am half Puerto Rican and was abandoned by my PR family, so I missed out on the culture when I was young. This video helps me learn more about my heritage and keep the culture alive. Thank you 🙏🏻❤️

I’m African American and watch Sanford and Son reruns whenever I have time. Some episodes feature their Puerto Rican neighbor who makes Mofongo ! I just had to see what it was and how it’s made ! Looks yummy !

Watching this 11 years after she originally posted and hoping that she knows how helpful this video has been for so many and I hope that o 1 million views of benefiting her financially

Thank you so much I always watching your video I’m from korea and I’m married Puertorican .i start learning about pr food

Mofongo is one of my favorite dishes. It takes me back to a visit to Puerto Rico in 1982 (I just aged myself a bit) and we drove around the island. I was so full, because we ate constantly so I ordered mofongo in chicken broth. The portion was huge but it was so good that I just kept eating. Then I took a nap on the beach! 🌴🌴🌴🌴

am Puerto Rican and married to a Irish American woman, she loved the way i made mofongo which i learned from my grandma. thank you so much love and VIVA Puerto Rico :)

Thank goodness for you patiently announcing step by step 😊

Gracias por esta receta. Soy Boricua 100%. Y naci en Puerto Rico pero fuy race en Chicago y no se cocinar muchas cosas tipicas :( gracias por tu recesa I LOVE IT !!!!!!!

One of the biggest things I miss about growing up in the South Bronx.

This was awesome...... I'm 🇮🇳 (INDIAN) but i love to explore, during a read I came across the recipe named Mofongos, and I've tried it twice. ....... Beautiful and delicacy 🤤🤤

Thank you for this lesson. I just got back from Puerto Rico and I think I had this 2 days in a row. I really like the Mofongo with Shrimp and garlic sauce. I am trying this on Sunday.

I just started watching your videos and I love them! My husband and I took a trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico and fell in love! I love the culture and the FOOOOOOD! So happy I found you and your videos so I can bring the amazing Puerto Rican flavors to my home! I love that you make it look so easy!

Hi there, happy new year..just a small tip if you dip the platanos or green bananas in hot water just for a lil while they will be easier to peel. That tip comes from my parents and their parents..

¡Es la primera ves que veo Mofongo servido con cardo de pollo o Mayo Ketchup! Mami y la familia en Mayaqüez siempre servía el Mofongo con caldo de abichuelas rojas o un caldo de carne res. Igual, la cáscara de puerco fue lo que usamos, no chicharrones en bolsa. Le regamos cáscara de puerco con pedazos de pernil. Siempre se reservaba la cáscara después de hasar un pernil para hacer el mofongo. ¡Me has recordodos de memorias muy hermosas! Gracias.

I just want to say thank you so much for doing these videos of my fav Puerto Rican dishes. My mother never made any of these dishes to teach me , only my grandmothers and restaurants so I thank you so much because now I can make it for my family. This is the second dish I have made from you and they came out perfect . So delicious.

Thank you for sharing this! I’m Puerto Rican and I loved sharing this with my kids! We added cilantro and it was awesome

Great videos! I love mofongo, when I make it I also add fresh cilantro and fresh pork (fat) along with the garlic, oil and salt. Yum!

I always come to your channel for my favorite Puerto Rican recipes. Thank you!

@Ana Rivera I lived in Puerto Rico 26 years and I've seen mofongo served many different ways. Thank you for sharing your version!

I just had mofongo for the first time today. It was fantastic and I'm in love. Your recipe was the first one I found, so thank you! More importantly, "Now I know what time it is"".

Thank you for sharing your recipe I miss my abuelitas cooking

I thank you for teaching me how to do many puerto rican dishes n I truly enjoy the authentic flavors. ❤ 🇵🇷 🇺🇸

Omg i cant wait to make your recipes are so easy and simple thanks for sharing

I love how you give thorough directions as you go. Thanks for this

Thank You for uploading this video on how to make 'Mofongo. I never got tired of it while at Puerto Rico.

You can cut off the ends and microwave for 20 secs and the skin will come right off without cooking it. Saves you a lot of time and risk of getting cut. Love your channel!

I really liked learning about plantains and how to pronounce their names. I have never tried one but I'd like to. Thank you for sharing.

Consejito: antes de comensar a pelar los platanos, labarse las manos con aceite de cocinar evita a que se te manchen las manos. Tambien como metodo mas facil y rapido de pelar los platanos, cuando hagas el corte iniciatiovo, voltea el platano y con una cuchilla de mantequilla lo vas pelando. Espero que les ayude este consejo.

Blown Out Of The Water! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT!! EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!!

I don't remember my mother ever making 'Mofongo' even though I knew it was Puerto Rican. And I had never heard of 'Piononos' when I first tried them 20 years ago. Actually, I never knew that Puerto Ricans made "Chicharon de Pollo'(I love it). There are so many foods attributed to Puerto Rico that I did not know. I recently made the things that I do remember(all according to your specifications Ida). Made my favorite: Pollo guisado(pardon my spelling), Chicken soup-to your specifications and got emotional when you posted the simple recipe for 'Surollitos de maiz' which I haven't had in decades. All of it is quick and simple. Trying to remember good memories and trying or forget bad ones by cooking these foods- Puerto Rican boy and yes, I do miss my mother!

I had my first dish of Mofongo with pollo guisado, today and it was absolutely delicious ! TFS your recipe 🙏🏽💙

Cool, I always remember Freddy Prinze’s character talking about mofongo on Sanford and Son, now I know what it is.😀

Thank you! My girlfriend and I went to Puerto Rico and I fell in love with the food. She grew up with Puerto Rican food so I'm hoping to learn and cook for her!

I made it like this with the peppers and onions sauce. I couldn't find anything in the house that looked like a pestle, so I used a food processor and then pressed it into bowls with the back of a spoon. Cuban hubby (via Puerto Rico) ate his Mofongo dry, but he put the peppers on the adobo seasoned pork chop that I served with it. He was very happy. He said I got it right.

I just love how you explain everything. Thank you for making it easier. Will be checking you videos constantly

I like how you explain the tradition and the measurement.

The best thing a mother can do for a daughter is teach her to cook traditional meal no matter what ethnicity. This country is so dependent on processed microwave food and I see young girls getting married who don't even know how to boil an egg. I cook everything from scratch and all kinds of food, Asian, Spanish, Irish, Italian etc etc. I'm Puerto rican and I love mofongo but I've never made it before. I make everything else but never that. I want to make some next week and I love your video. I do have one question. Can you boil the plantains and put them in a food processor with chicharron and the garlic or would that be a no no. Thanks much

Sou brasileira, fiz esta receita de mofongo porque assistindo a uma matéria sobre Porto Rico no Globo repórter da Globo, não tinha ouvido falar dessa delicia antes , temos o hábito de fazer churrasco aos sábados, agora vou acrescentar essa maravilha como entrada. ❤🥰❤, Obrigada por 😢

I love your tone, and energy when instructing your tutorials . Tried your papa rellena recipe for the first time. They came out awesome. Thank you. Making this pastelon tonight.

I love plantain. I never have a Mofongo. I will try to make this. Thanks.

I don't really leave comments, but your tutorial was so thorough and direct. I feel completely confident with making this tonight. 😁

Aww thanks for this! I’m making this for my dad who’s from Puerto Rico and just making it for appreciation, we haven’t got a chance to visit the island for years, so I wanted him to feel like he’s back at home:)

“See right now they tur-“ Moves camera to show time. “And now you know the time” This had me dyingggg!!!! I had to rewind like 5 times just to get all my laugh out.

Made this for my parents today and they loved it, thanks for sharing you're the best!

You guys makes me hungry! Yummy in my tummy!

Thank you for this great video. I had the opportunity to visit the wonderful Isla del Encanto a couple of years ago. While there, I discovered this wonderful dish and ate it almost daily. Wishing to make this when I returned home, I realized I didn't have access to the pork crackling. To my great surprise, I found it this week in our grocery store. I ran to the vegetable section and found some plantains. So I am all set. Sadly, I believe the plantains may be a little over ripe. But now that I know I can get all the ingredients here, I can experiment with this batch. Having this video will make this much easier. That said, I am so looking forward to returning to Puerto Rico to sample the real thing again. Wonderful place, wonderful people, wonderful food. What more would someone need.

Thank you to take your time and share this puertorrican recipe . The peoples now can made and enjoy mofongo in their house . Thank you from Cataño Puerto Rico.

This has become a new favorite in our home! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and knowledge. Also, on a side note, you have beautiful hands! Food is best when served by hands of love.

Thank you for the Mofongo video. By the way, your Picadillo looks "PODEROSO" l will impress my wife tonight with this wonderful Puerto Rican Dish. Greeting from Nicaragua.

Um k rico se ve, yo soy dominicana y ya he comido mangu pero no sabia como hacer mofongo pero gracias a este video se como se hace un mofongo. Gracias por el viddo, me encantó

u give very clear precise demonstrations.good work and kudos to the camera person too lol

That’s so cool! I thought it was harder. I’m going to have to try it.

Ive been wanting to learn how to cook Mofongo since I was 15 and went to PR on vacation...LOVE U !!! Keep up everything you've been doing we love it...cant thank You enough!!

im puerto rican and trying to get more in touch with my culture, thank you for making these videos!

I sincerely want to thank you for sharing your recipes...I grew up in jersey and now in the Midwest and I miss the foods I grew up with. And of course out here they don't have good food. So thank you...I adore youuuuuuu...so far I've made three dishes and they were SO good

I must try Mofongo. Thank you!!! Looks delicious

I could eat this all day, thanks for the instructions!

I always come back to this recipe .. each time I make mofongo .. thank you!!

Very informative and easy to follow.

What is considered healthy changes with the tide. Mofongo is a dish that is traditional, and I don't know anyone that eats it every day. Lo considero uno de los placeres mas sublimes de la vida, comer un mofonguito con caldito....vale la pena.

I can taste it! Wow, I can't wait to make it again. Thanks.:)

Long story short, I love your channel! I often wondered how I can get back in touch with my roots since my parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles are all gone.......Thank you so much for your videos! I look forward to making everything I remembered my mother making for me as a child! THANK YOU!

just ate 1/2 hour ago. Now I'm hungry again. Grew up in P.R., and would eat this almost everyday with arroz con pollo....piononos... Thank you!!!

That finished product looked so yummy. Great video!

I really enjoyed this video me senti como que estoy encasa de mi tia!! love the details! Gracias y buen provecho!

Adding garlic to the plantains looks awesome, in Ecuador is similar dish, we call Bolon of cheese or chicharrón !

Oh my! Look delicious! Never tried it. Thank you!

This is one of my favorites! I've eaten it in a couple of restaurants, and it was not good. So I make it to my taste and I use a lot of what you do, so I know that it's good. I am so hungry right now. Great job. You are so good on video.

My mom had those aluminum pot's for making the rice. Memories!

Thank you so much. I did this today for the very first time and it turned out great. My wife loves it. Thank you. God bless you. You are appreciated.

Yummm. I make mofongo ocasionally or buy it when I dine at "Sofritos" in manhattan. This just made me hungry and ready to make some more 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷♥️

Omg love you!! Keep up the great work n cooking Puerto Rican power :) I'm hungry now lol

I like your recepies very much , but I give you and advise I learned from my wife Try peeling the greeen after you put them in hot water for less than a minute and you'll be surprise how easy it is to peel

You are my Puerto Rican Julia Child ; and more. I love your videos bc your history is so on point with Ingredients and style God bless you and thank you

Wonderful videos of the plantains an mofongo. thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Note to self: don't smash the platanos so hard the garlic infused olive oil jumps at you! Jajaja great recipe! I made this tonight and it was just like I remembered it as a child!

At this point it's basically done? It's done when i'm done eating it 😁 . Thanks again for another Great Video 👍

There is only one thing I miss about my ex and that's the Puerto Rican cuisine I learned to make for him (thanks to his sisters and mom!) It was delicious. I'd love to try this recipe. Thanks for the tutorial!

Looks Yummy.I LOVE MOFONGO .My daughter made me some with shrimp.Really Good.I have never made it.I like the way you made it.Thanks for sharing

I love Puerto Rican Food (Caribbean) I like also Dominican food too similar but different

Perfect, I would add the shrimp inside the well of the mofongo as a little bowl. This was easy, gracias.

In Aruba we boil the plantain, fry the garlic, put it in food processorolive oil, salt and a tiny black pepper. Serve whit fish stew whit coconut oil and others veggie. Spectacular

Nosotros en el oriente de Venezuela tenemos el mofongo pero le llamamos bola de plátano y los pilones son como a la antigua, grandes que te llegan a la mitad del cuerpo y de madera, y nos comemos esa bola de plátano con una carne guisada de un marsupial al que llamamos lapa. Que rico se ve su mofongo, me encanta las similitudes y a la vez la diferencia de nuestros pueblos latinos caribeños. Una belleza.

you're amazing ..God bless you

Sweets...you're killing me!!!! YUM!!!! LOL

I tried this for the first time with steak and my husband and kids wanted 3rd's of the mofongo! I added a twist to mines by adding cilantro to my garlic paste. My parents and husbands parents were born in Puerto Rico and I love to make our traditional foods.

Girl, you gona get me married! I have hit The JACKPOT with your cooking and teaching! Thank you so much!

I'm all up for trying new things, this is on my list for tomorrow...Thank you miss mam..;) Very nicely explained.

I really enjoyed watching your video's. Your cooking style reminds me of how our grandmother's would cook. Thank you for all of the great recipes.

Ohhh. The AMERICAS have it all. And all of the flavors, spices,sexy people,fruits,birds,flora&fauna, ect. But the real flavor is in Latin AMERICA, the beauty is in our native AMERICA and that can not be erase because natural doesn"t fade. Loved your recipe,sharing is caring. I just love all people from LATIN AMERICA.

You are a wonderful teacher. Clear instructions and easy to follow pace. Bravo!

I always wanted to taste after I heard Julio talking about it on Sanford and Son. I'll have to try it today.

I Am Salivating Watching This HAHAH..Another Great Dish Thanks For The Tutorial!!

Thanks alot ida am really loving your recipe .am from haitian background and born in the bahamas and I was looking for new dish to cook at home

Delicious mofongo!😋 I love tostones puertorican dishes are the soul food for Latinos Mexican dishes as well but puertorican are my favorite because I don’t like spicy food.

I'm happy that I was curious to see your earlier videos, because I had no idea that this one existed. Mofongo is my favorite. You're the best, Ida!

!Hello, PUERTO RICO! iGood luck!
