Instructions
-
Place the sliced onions in a medium bowl with a heavy pinch of salt and vinegar. Let soak for 1 hour while preparing the other ingredients.
-
Peel the plantains and cut into quarters. Place the plantains in a large pot with enough water to cover them by 1 inch. Add salt to taste. Bring the plantains to a boil over high heat and cook for about 30 minutes until they are very tender.
-
Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the canola oil to 350 degrees F over high heat.
-
Coat each slice of Dominican frying cheese in flour, and then place the slices in 1¾ cups canola oil and fry for about 3 minutes until both sides are golden brown. Remove from skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
-
Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet and fry the salami for about 4 minutes until brown and crispy on both sides. Remove from the skillet, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
-
Wipe out the skillet, and add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Pour in the onions and their soaking liquid. Sauté for about 10 minutes until the onions are soft and bright pink.
-
Once the plantains are tender, scoop them out from the water and place in a separate large bowl, and keep the starchy boiling liquid warm on the stove.
-
Add the butter and about 1 cup of the hot starchy plantain liquid. Mash the cooked plantains together until it is creamy and smooth. Add more liquid as needed.
-
Serve the mangú with the fried cheese, fried salami, avocado, and fried eggs. Garnish with pickled onions.

Enjoy!
