Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 plantain (green, unripe)
1½ teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons butter (or olive oil, whichever you prever)
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 red onion (large)
1 tablespoon fruit vinegar
salt

Steps:

Peel the plantains (see how-to) and cut lengthwise, then divide each half into two. You can remove the center where the seeds are located (optional, this is just my preference for a smoother mangú).
Boil the plantains in enough water to cover them plus an inch until they are very tender, having added the 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 (be careful not to burn yourself). Mix in butter, and progressively add a cup of water at room temperature and keep mashing and mixing until it turns into a very smooth puree (see tips below).
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over low heat. Add onions and cook and stir until they become translucent. Pour in vinegar and season with salt to taste.
Garnish mangu with the onions and serve per suggestions above.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 fully ripe plantains, peeled and halved lengthwise
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper, or more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lime

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle plantains with salt and cayenne; drizzle with oil to coat. Arrange, cut sides down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until cut sides of plantains begin to caramelize, about 20 minutes. Turn plantains; roast 10 minutes more.
Mash hot plantains on baking sheet with a potato masher until somewhat smooth (some large chunks should remain). Transfer to a serving bowl, and drizzle with lime juice.

Tips:

Choose ripe plantains: Look for plantains that are mostly black with a few yellow or green streaks. Avoid plantains that are mostly green or have a lot of brown spots.
Peel the plantains carefully: Use a sharp knife to make a slit down the length of the plantain, then use your fingers to peel the skin off.
Boil the plantains until they are tender: This will take about 15-20 minutes. You can check if the plantains are done by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes in easily, the plantains are done.
Mash the plantains: Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the plantains until they are smooth. You can also use a food processor, but be careful not to over-process them.
Season the plantains: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to the mashed plantains. You can also add butter or olive oil for extra richness.
Fry the eggs: Heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them until they are done to your liking.
Serve the mashed plantains with the fried eggs: Top the mashed plantains with the fried eggs and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Mashed plantains with fried eggs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up ripe plantains, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. The combination of the sweet plantains and the savory eggs is sure to please everyone at the table.
