Ingredients

For the Mangú

  • 4 green plantains
  • 1 tsp 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 tbs Mazola Corn oil
  • cooking water from the plantains

Sides

For the onion garnish

Salt if wanted over eggs

    Instructions

    Preparing the Mangú

    • Peel the plantains and cut into 4 pieces. I like to cut length in half and slice in half, making it 4 pieces.
    • Boil the plantains in salted water until they are very tender.
    • When tender mash them with a fork until they are smooth. Add cooking water as needed to keep the plantains moist.
    • Add oil and mix further.

    Preparing the onion garnish

    • You can make it in 2 ways.
      Way 1
      Heat 1/4 cup corn oil in a skillet.
      Add onions, stir until they become translucent or reach desired tenderness.
      Add vinegar, stir well and you are done!
      Way 2
      Place all ingredients in a small bowl and heat in microwave 3 minutes or until desired tenderness. I suggest you stir a bit every minute.

    Sides

    • Slice the frying cheese.
      Add flour to a paper plate and lightly cover each slice of cheese.
      In a skillet, add oil and fry over medium heat until golden.
      Keep warm in the oven.
    • Slice the salami.
      In clean skillet, add oil and fry the slices over medium heat until golden.
      Keep warm in the oven.
    • In a clean skillet, add oil, fry the eggs at the very end of the cooking process one at a time.

    Serve the mangú, place cheese, salami and eggs around the mangu and pour desired amount of onion garnish over the dish.

      Notes

      This is the order in which I recommend you make this recipe:
      - Heat your oven to "warm" or 180º degrees.
      - Start with peeling the plantains and begin to boil over medium/high heat.
      - While the plantains cook, slice the salami and the cheese.
      - Place eggs in a small bowl, individually.
      - Slice the onions and place in bowl. Add the oil and the vinegar. Start heating in microwave.
      - At this point the plantains should be about half way cooked.
      - Fry the cheese and place in the warm oven until serving.
      - Fry the salami and place in the warm oven until serving.
      - Mash the plantains, cover and set aside.
      - Fry the eggs.
