Pork Mofongo
This is a "National" dish made from green plantains which are mashed together with broth, garlic, olive oil, and pork cracklings or bits of bacon. The mixture is the formed into a fluted cylinder mold. Mofongo relleno is mofongo stuffed with stewed beef, chicken or seafood, with stewed sauce poured over.


Sofrito Marinated Churrasco
This is a grilled skirt steak that's rolled up when it's finished. I saw a lot of restaurants offering the same dish with fillings in the middle like shrimp or cheese.
