In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and add the green plantains, frying for 5 minutes. Remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess fat. In a mortar, place the garlic, plantains, and olive oil, and mash until broken down. Add the pork cracklings and continue mashing until you have a pasty consistency. Using the mortar and a spoon, form a semicircle or half-moon shape. Set aside.
