Mashed Green Plantains or Mangu Recipe
In Santo Domingo they use plantains to make different types of delicious dishes. One of these dishes is a very famous and popular called Mangú (which means mashed plantain)
Ingredients
- 1 large plantain (cut in medium size wheels)
- 3 cups water
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 small piece of cooking ham, chopped
- ½ small purple or red onion diced
- Salt to taste
Directions
- Peel bananas and cut them into medium wheels (so the bananas will cook faster.)
- In a medium bowl or saucepan, boil water, bananas and salt. Boil for a period of 18-20 minutes.
- Remove the pieces of banana and place on a plate, reserving the water in which you boiled the plantains.
- Mash plantains with butter, pouring spoonfuls of the water you reserved (as necessary.) Mash up the plantains to a puree and smooth consistency.
- In a skillet, place oil and bring to medium heat, sauté the ham until slightly brown.
- Meanwhile chop the onion into small pieces, and add to the ham. Sauté onion and ham together for one or two minutes, and serve over mangú.
