mashed plantains

Mangú Dominicana is made very commonly in the Dominican Republic by boiling plantains and then mashing them. Mangú is typically topped with red onions and served at breakfast.

Instant Pot Mangú from the Dominican Republic

plantains (not yet ripe)

water

butter

salt

tbsp oil

onion

Peel your plantains and cut them into 1-1.5 inch pieces. Place them in the Instant Pot with the water and secure the lid. Turn the cooking pressure to HIGH for 6 minutes. When the cook time has completed, perform a Quick Release.

Mash the plantains with a potato masher. You can also add some butter if you wish!

Remove the mangú from the Instant Pot and wash the pot. Turn the pot to SAUTE and add the olive oil until warmed.

Add the red onion to the pot and stir occasionally until the onion is cooked all the way. Add some salt to taste.

Place the red onions on top of the mangú. Enjoy!

Creamy, rich and delicious, mangu is one of my favorite plantain recipes. Dominica mashed plantain is super simple to make, but is full of flavor. Serve as part of a breakfast, or as a side dish.

Mangu (Dominican Mashed Plantains)

green plantains

water, (at room temperature)

butter, (unsalted)

red onions, (sliced)

apple cider vinegar

Peel the plantains and cut lengthwise, then divide each half into two.

Add the plantains to a pot and boil in enough water to cover them until they are very tender. Add salt to the water before the water breaks the boil.

Remove the plantains from the water and mash them right away with a fork until they are very smooth and there are few to no lumps. Mix in butter, and water. Keep mashing and mixing until smooth.

For the mangu

In a small bowl combine onions, vinegar and salt. Let sit for about 5 minutes.

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over low heat. Add onions and cook while stirring until they become translucent, about 1-2 minutes.

For the onions

Garnish mangu with the onions and serve with eggs, Dominican fried salami and fried cheese.
