Soak the green plantains in water to help remove the skin.

Cut the ends off the plantains and slice the center, adding a few slits along the sides.

Remove the skin using a spoon and soak the plantains in water to prevent oxidation.

Add salt to the water and boil the plantains for about 30 minutes until tender.

While the plantains are cooking, cut up the onion, salami, and cheese.

Mix the onion with salt, oil, and vinegar and let it sit.

Fry the cheese and salami until cooked.

Cook the onions in the mixture for about 4-5 minutes, keeping them a little crunchy.

Once the plantains are ready, drain the water and add one stick of butter and one cup of evaporated milk.

Mash the plantains, adding pepper and vinegar, and mix in some cold water for a smooth consistency.
