Mangú with los tres golpes
The Dominican breakfast: mashed green plantain with pickled onion, served with “los tres golpes” (the three hits): fried salami, fried cheese and a fried egg.
Ingredients
- 4 green plantains
- 50 g butter
- 2 red onions
- 4 tablespoons of vinegar
- 8 thick slices of Dominican salami (or another sausage for frying)
- 8 thick slices of frying cheese
- 4 eggs
- Oil and salt
How to make it at home
- Cut the onion into rings and sauté it briefly in oil with the vinegar and salt.
- Peel the plantains and boil them in salted water for about 20 minutes.
- Drain them (keeping a little of the water) and mash them with the butter and water until smooth.
- Fry the salami, the cheese and the eggs.
- Serve the mangú with the onion on top and the three hits on the side.
The trick: Mash the plantains while hot with their cooking water: it comes out creamier.
