Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Peel plantains, cut into 1-inch pieces. Heat oil in a skillet, add plantains and cook until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking dish, reserving oil. Add onion and garlic to the skillet, cook and stir until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
Mash plantain in the baking dish, using a fork until the texture resembles corn bread stuffing. Add pork rinds, mix in onion-garlic mixture and salt. Pour in broth, dot with 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons margarine, and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
