Recipie: Spanish Mangu (Mashed Green Plantains)

Here's a family recipie for a spanish dish called Mangu.
Mangu(pronounced man-goo) is a typical dinner or breakfast dish in the
Dominican Republic and is usually paired with spanish fried salami.
The recipie is for two people.

You can find green plantains in spanish grocery stores and big
supermarkets. They're called 'platanos verdes' and are easy to confuse
with the wider 'platanos maduros', or ripe plantains, which are NOT
bananas.

Ingredients: 3 green plantains, mayo, butter, and salt to taste.
Optional ingredients: cream cheese, fried salami.

Fill a medium sized pot 1/3 with water and a pinch of salt, enough to
cover the plantains well, and set it to boil. Peel the plantains with
a knife and rinse them. Set them in the pot to simmer about 10-15 min,
until the plantains are well cooked. Drain them and put them in a
bowl, then mash them well with a fork, mixing in a spoonfull of butter
and mayo, and if you want, cream cheese.

Now just fork it into a bowl and add salami. Enjoy!
