Peel the green plantains and cut them into 1 to 2-inch pieces.

Boil the plantains in salted water for about 15 to 20 minutes until soft.

Check the plantains for doneness; they should be soft enough to go through easily with a fork.

Once boiled, drain the plantains and prepare to fry them.

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fry the plantain pieces for about 2 minutes until golden brown.

Remove the fried plantains and mash them with a fork or potato masher.

In a separate pan, sauté garlic in a little olive oil until fragrant.

Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and diced tomato to the sautéed garlic and cook until softened.

Add the chopped vegan sausage to the mixture and cook until browned.

Combine the mashed plantains with the sautéed mixture, adding more garlic and olive oil as needed for flavor.

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more garlic or salt if desired.
