My Thanksgiving Mofongo Dressing with Salami, Eating Well 2019

Mofongo—a dish of mashed fried plantains—first appeared in a cookbook titled El Cocinero Puertorriqueño, Puerto Rico's first cookbook, in 1859. Then some clever person decided to take one of Puerto Rico's iconic dishes and shove it up a turkey tuchus. This idea had to have been a little more recent, because the recipe for mofongo stuffing (or even a mention of it) doesn't seem to appear in any cookbooks until Yvonne Ortiz's A Taste of Puerto Rico in 1994.
