Ingredients

4green plantains, boiled
2red onion, sautéed
1/4 cupbutter or oil

Instructions

1

Boil the plantains in well-salted water until they are completely soft and offer no resistance when pierced with a fork.

2

Mash with butter and a splash of the reserved cooking water.

3

Add the cooking water gradually until the mangu is smooth but still holds together, not runny.

4

Top generously with the sauteed onions right before serving, so they are still warm and glossy over the mash.
