Mangu with Longaniza, Fried Egg and Burrata

Instructions

1. In a deep pot, boil water and add salt.
2. While the water is heating up, peel the plantains and slice them in half, throw them in the salted water.
3. While the plantains are cooking, slice the onion (julienne style) and put it in a bowl with apple cider vinegar and salt. Let it sit until you’re ready to cook it.
4. Remove the plantains from the water and mash them with a fork until they are very smooth and there are few lumps. Mix in butter and the plantain water and keep mashing and mixing until it turns into a smooth puree.
5. For the onions, Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over low heat. Add onions, cook and stir until they become translucent. Remove from the heat.
6. Fry the egg and Longaniza.
7. Garnish the Mangu with the egg, longaniza, and onions.
8. Enjoy!
9. Longaniza is not easy to find unless you live in an area that has Hispanic markets. Instead of using Longaniza, you can use any type of meat or no meat at all if you’re plant based.
10. Traditionally, fried cheese is used for a Mangu but since it’s not easily accessible where I’m located, I used Burrata as a substitution.
11. Instead of butter, you can use olive oil for the Mangu.
