Discovered this recipe last year while flipping channels and landed on the Food Network. If you’re a fan of chickpeas and tahini, you should really enjoy this.

I do a similar thing but mash about half of it with a big spoon and then make sandwiches out of the whole thing (with tomato, sprouts and cakes with feta/olives).
 
I *finally* found some killer mofongo in New Orleans and I’m not sure I fully understand what love is, but I’m certain it must feel like this.

My wife is Dominican and, living in Vegas, she has decried the fact that most of Latin cuisine and markets reflect a Mexican & Central/South American bias. She can't get cheese for queso frito but she can get plantains to make mangu.

However, there is one PR restaurant we like. Their mafongo is pretty tasty.

You may find an easier time finding halloumi and frying that. It's not the same -- it's definitely drier than the traditional queso fresco they use in the DR.

boricuas, cubiches y dominicainos, we're all sorta cut from the same cloth. just similar enough that there's a lot of cultural crossover, juuuust different enough that getting confused with each other is enough to start a fight. don't even get me started on the cuban and PR flags.
