"Mangú" Dominican/Caribbean Dish!

Welcome to the channel and introduction to making Mangu.

Mention that Mangu is a typical dish from the Dominican Republic.

State that Mangu is best eaten with fried cheese and fried salami but can be paired with anything.

Marinate onions in vinegar and salt before frying.

Soak green plantains in hot water for a couple of minutes to make peeling easier.

Cut off the tips of the plantains.

Make a slit through the raised part of the plantain to peel it without cutting too deep.

Cut the plantains in half and then cut them in half again.

Boil the plantains in enough water to cover them, adding salt once they start boiling.

Boil plantains for about 15 minutes until soft.

Fry the marinated onions, draining a little vinegar before frying.

Fry the salami and cheese.

Place cooked plantains into a large bowl without discarding the cooking water.

Add a heaping tablespoon of butter to the plantains.

Mash the plantains using a heavy set cup until they reach a mashed potato consistency.

Add more butter if needed, using a total of 3 tablespoons for the recipe.

Add 3 mixing spoons full of the cooking water to the mashed plantains.

Optionally mix in the fried onions or serve them separately.

Serve the Mangu on a plate and present the final product.
