Dominican Breakfast🇩🇴 Mangú con los tres golpes🔥👊

salami

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: bologna

Turkey sausage offers a leaner option with similar flavors.

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and adds a rich flavor.

green plantains

🥗Healthier: yellow plantains

💰Cheaper: potatoes

Yellow plantains are sweeter and easier to find, while potatoes are a budget-friendly substitute.

Peel the green plantains by cutting off both ends, making a slit down the side, and lifting the peel off with fingers.

Scrape off any residue left on the plantains after peeling.

Cut the plantains in half and then cut each half in the middle to help them cook faster.

Fill a pot with cold water and add the plantains, then bring to a boil.

Once boiling, add salt to the water and cover the pot.

Cook the plantains for about 8 minutes until soft, checking with a fork.

In a separate pan, heat oil and add the Dominican salami to brown it, cooking for about 3 minutes on each side.

Remove the salami from the pan and set aside.

In the same oil, fry the queso Frito for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Drain the water from the cooked plantains and return them to the pot.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the plantains and mash them with a fork until smooth.

Add cold water to the mashed plantains to achieve a creamy consistency, tasting for flavor and adjusting with more butter and salt as needed.

Cover the mashed plantains and set aside while finishing the other components.

Fry the eggs to your desired doneness in the same pan used for the salami and cheese.

For pickled onions, sauté half a red onion until translucent, then add tomato paste, garlic powder, water, and apple cider vinegar, cooking until thickened.
