PASTA E FAGIOLI CON MISTA

Steps:

• Make the beans: Place beans in a large pot; add enough water to cover. Let stand at room temperature overnight.
• Drain beans and rinse; transfer to a large pot. Place onion, celery, carrot, proscuitto, sage, parsley, and peppercorns in a piece of cheesecloth; tie with a piece of kitchen twine to enclose. Transfer to pot along with potato. Add 5 cups water and season with salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; immediately reduce to a simmer. Cook until beans are tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove beans from heat. Remove cheesecloth packet and discard. Let beans cool completely in their liquid. Beans can be made up to 1 day ahead and kept refrigerated, in their liquid.
• Make the soup: Place prosciutto, onion, celery, carrot, leeks, and rosemary in the bowl of a food processor; pulse 4 or 5 times to combine.
• Heat a large pot over medium heat; add olive oil and vegetables. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are softened and caramelized, about 15 minutes. If vegetables begin to stick or brown too fast, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water to loosen.
• Add butternut squash and cook, stirring, about 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until caramelized and well combined, making sure the bottom does not burn. Add beans, 4 cups of their cooking liquid, and chicken stock or water. Bring to a boil and whisk vigorously to break up beans.
• Add pasta and reduce soup to a simmer. Cook, stirring bottom of pot occasionally, until all pasta is al dente, about 12 minutes, adding more liquid if necessary to cook pasta; season with salt and pepper.
• Serve drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil and cheese; season with cracked black pepper.

MOFONGO

Steps:

• Prepare the guiso, if using: Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until simmering. Add sofrito, reduce heat to medium-low and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until liquid is evaporated.
• Pour in tomato sauce, partially cover with a lid, and simmer over low for 7 to 10 minutes. Sauce will thicken and darken in color.
• While sauce simmers, prepare the mofongo: Pour vegetable oil into a medium saucepan until it reaches a 3-inch depth, then heat over medium-high.
• Meanwhile, crush garlic and 1 teaspoon salt in a pilón or large mortar and pestle until a wet paste forms.
• In a separate, small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium until just simmering, about 5 minutes. Slowly pour this hot oil on top of the garlic, carefully stirring to incorporate. It'll sizzle, and the garlic may turn light green. Add lime juice to complete the mojo.
• Peel plantains by cutting off both ends, then make three lengthwise slices through the skin. Carefully pull up the peel and remove it, starting at one of the corners with the edge of your fingernail or the tip of your knife if tough, then cut the plantains into 1 1/2-inch rounds. (Be careful: Plantain skins will stain your hands and clothing.)
• Once the vegetable oil is simmering somewhere between 350 and 375 degrees - you can test by adding a small piece of plantain; it will sizzle when the oil is hot enough - add plantains in 2 or 3 batches, taking care not to crown the pot. Fry each batch for 6 to 9 minutes, stirring lightly a few times, until the plantains begin to brown. Be careful not to let them get too dark, or they'll be hard and dry. Use a slotted spoon or mesh strainer to transfer plantains to a towel-lined bowl.
• If you have a large enough pilón, add fried plantains and chicharrón, if using, until pilón is three-quarters full. Mash together, alternating pounding and grinding. Once mixture has condensed to about half its original size, add 1 heaping tablespoon of the prepared mojo (or to taste), and continue grinding and mashing until fully combined. The mixture will look like stuffing.
• If you don't have a pilón, combine plantains, chicharrón and mojo in a large wooden bowl. Using the bottom of a slender jar, such as an olive jar, mash together to incorporate, rotating the bowl after each mash. Pound, grind and mash until mofongo is blended.
• Form the mashed mixture into 4 individual mofongos, each roughly the size of a baseball, or press into the bottom of a small rice bowl, then turn each onto a plate or into a larger bowl.
• Serve immediately, garnished with extra chicharrón, lime wedges and cilantro, if you like. Spoon over guiso as desired.
