Vegetarian Brunch - Mashed Plantains Dominican Style aka Mangu

One of the best Dominican foods is Mangu -- a dish of mashed plantains that you usually eat for brunch. It is creamy, warm, and so damn comforting. I keep it simple here and serve it with a fried egg and pickled onions. This brunch is fully vegetarian but can be spruced up with frying cheese and Dominican salami.

This version of the dish is fully vegetarian and gluten free.

I'm from Canada & never heard of it until my sister told me about it & made it for me.
Its absolutely delicious & a very good alternative to potatoes which I seldom eat if at all unless its a sweet potato NOT a Yam.
I am about to make this for the first time & cant wait, its amazing.

The Green Plantain are roughage. It's what you put into it that adds flavour. Salt, pepper, all purpose seasoning, garlic granules, olive oil, sweet paprika, soy sauce. Then the pickled red onions. Tasty!

I live in Miami and you know we know about that mangu with fried cheese and egg, no salami because I don't eat pork 😊 😊

I live in Puerto Rico where people look at me funny when I tell them they should serve mofongo with a fried egg on top. Somehow I feel validated by your recipe.

As a Dominican women I’ll tell you now your WRONG that comes from our west AFRICAN ancestors we may have inherited our language from Spain and our traditions and way of life from our (Caribbean native indigenous) (“Indian”) side but we most certainly got a lot of our dishes if not most from AFRICA please fact check your stories before your speak about the lovely RD thanks xoxo. Let’s preserve our history not participate with rewriting more false facts about our people much love xoxox

Only thing Cristoforo Colombo brought to the “new world” was diseases and a whole lot of unpaid debt for the record**😅 “ when he landed luckily”

how was him landing there a good thing again why are you acting like he was the savior of Dominican rep when he was the down fall of our civilization before colo*** smh I can’t bye
