Mangú con los Tres Golpes (Mashed Plantains with Eggs, Salami and Cheese)

Method

1. 1

   Boil the plantain chunks in salted water until a fork slides through easily, about 20 minutes.

2. 2

   While they cook, toss the sliced red onion with vinegar and a pinch of salt and set aside to pickle.

   💡 A short soak is enough — the onion softens and turns bright pink within ten minutes.

3. 3

   Drain the plantains, keeping a cup of the cooking water, and mash with the butter, loosening with splashes of the hot water until smooth and spoonable.

4. 4

   In a skillet, fry the salami slices until the edges curl and the cheese slices until golden on both sides; set both aside on a plate.

5. 5

   In the same pan, fry the eggs to your liking.

6. 6

   Plate the mangú with the fried salami, cheese and eggs alongside, topped with the pickled onion.
