I love Mofongo! I grew up eating it. Its fried green plantains then mashed plantains with garlic, seasonings and what ever add ons you like. Great video!!
Mofongo is a puerto rican staple and it’s literally mushed plantains usually in a mortar bowl filled with vegetables or meat; so this kind of plantain is prepared in a more savory way vs sweet!! ✨
lil french tip here: "et" is pronounced "aye." A lot of times the final letters in french, like the "t" here, arent pronounced which is confusing but c'est la vie!
@@GS-lq2is yes, it’s pronounced like maybe without the m. I meant aye like when you greet someone and you’re like ayyyyee. Not pronounced like eye (i guess it’s like that in British English maybe)
@@luciabauza3247 Hahaha, fair enough - when I see ayyyyee, I can only think of the Fonz :) When I see "aye," I think of sailors - like "aye, aye, Captain." Of course, English has insanely inconsistent pronunciation - as shown by the fact you could spell fish as "ghoti." It's always kind of amazing to me that anyone manages to learn English as a second language. If anyone hasn't heard of the "ghoti" thing - - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghoti
I hate to be this person but you're both pronouncing it wrong! It's a very subtle "eh" and that's it. No "y" in there at all. And that's if it's supposed to be French. Perhaps it's actually a cajun thing and pronounced differenty. Sorry, couldn't not say something.
Great vid, that food looks amazing, I love how you do out of your way to support local and POC business so excited amount your camper van adventures and seeing how the build comes along.
What a fun mix of food! Maduro aka yellow plantains are the ones you need to worry about since you don't like the sweet savory thing but tostones, mangu and mofongo almost always use green plantains so they typically won't be sweet.
Rebecca ~ When you have a good day so do all your viewers. This off-the-cuff video was such fun to watch. Now I want one of those "lobster" rolls. Yum!
Mofongo is a traditional Puerto Rican dish made with green plantains that have been fried and mashed with a mortar and pestle. It's delicious! Happy to see you liked it. 😃
@@bodegacatx I usually just make tostones and after they’re crispy, mash em’ up with some pan-seared sausage (breakfast or other crumble) and a bunch of garlic. I guess you could try bacon strips alternatives, if you like any, cut up, instead of the sausage. Oh no, does this mean Berto’s not made tostones either?! 😨 Funny you should mention kibbeh since I grew up eating a Dominicanized version (of the Lebanese one) called quipes / kipes that used bulgur. Small world!
Your energy is viiibin ✨✨ sending all the goodness! Also, love your “this is me, this is how it is, showing you my real moment” feel. I appreciate your vulnerability in how you present yourself through your channel. Thanks for sharing delicious food and bits of your day with us 💛✌️
I love mofongo! I've been meaning to try it with vegan pork rinds, since that's what is typically use in the traditional version, but mhmmmmm mofongo with a good sauce is so delicious!
The Mac and Cheese looked killer. I don't think I've tried a baked one. We can't wait to be able to travel so we can hit NY up and do some episodes there. The Vegan scene there looks amazing.
I was surprised when you said you didn’t like plantains, but I figured you wouldn’t like Maduros because it’s too much savory-sweet Hearts of palm lobster rolls might be a fun recipe to try at Home. I’m inspired!
I am sitting here STARVING (had to chose between rent and food) and im not even vegan but I've watched you (and berto) for years now. Rebecca, you give me SO much hope that one day ill be happy and not just surviving but THRIVING. I was at a really really low point before watching your video and now I actually have a smile on my face, so, thank you. Keep being your positive, lovely, bubble self. Thank you. Love you. Amber
I am ashamed to say how many animals i have eaten in my pre-vegan life, however i am happy to say i never ate a lobster roll. The vegan version of that looks DELICIOUS! The decor, ambiance, and food from that eatery all looks so inviting. Art supplies on their shelves - Yes. Please.
moe-phone-go.... sooooooooooo gooooooooooood. ive never had vegan mofongo, i gotta go check that spot out just for that!!! last time i had mofongo was like 10yrs ago in DR T__T
You didn't mention that it's a black owned restaurant. Is that correct? I vaguely remember reading about it on VegNews.
Oh yes it is!! I definitely should have!
Pinned your comment so ppl can see!
who cares..stop bringing race into it for once

You're the most genuine person I know on CZcams. Your videos are endlessly entertaining, due to your authenticity and brightness!
Awww you made my day. Thank you
Time to check if you can get into the Guinness book of world records for most vegan restaurants visited. LoL
Haha, im not sure id win. There has to be someone out there who tried more
Baked Mac and cheese is the superior Mac and cheese. Periodt!

It's plantain fufu.
Mofongo is a Caribbean dish. Puerto Ricans love to eat it, lol.
7:10 Aw, I’m kinda sad that Berto’s never made mofongo for you... it’s a classic PR (& DR) dish.
Im not sure he even knows how to make it. Ill ask him!

I really hope you go and enjoy!

Hearts of palm are so bad for the environment and animals! It makes me sad seeing people eat it. 😭
It looks delicious. You are such a sweet vegan influencer. Just love you 🙏🏼
Oh thank you!
Lol you need to do Puerto Rican or Dominican food ASAP so you know what Mofongo is girl!
I love mofongo 🤤... Yes girl green plantains aren't sweet are all lol
