1 pc avocado
1/2 pc lemon
2 pcs plantain (green, unripe)
1 pc egg
1 tsp white vinegar
1½ teaspoons salt
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 red onion, large
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 Tbsp salt
DIRECTIONS
1) Cut the ends of the plantains and make a cut lengthwise through the skin.
2) In a large pot, put 2 cups of water to boil and place the plantains. Cook for 3 minutes or until tender.
Remove from the water and peel the skin carefully.
3) Cut the plantain in 1-inch cubes and place in water and cook for 10 minutes. When done, remove the plantains from the water.
4) Mash the pieces right away with a fork until they are very smooth (be careful not to burn yourself).
5) Mix in butter, and progressively add a cup of water at room temperature. Keep mixing until it turns into a very smooth puree.
6) Pre-heat a pan with the olive oil.
7) Place the egg in room temperature water with the vinegar and bring to a boil. Cook for 9 minutes and turn off the heat. Leave in the water for 3 minutes. Remove, peel and slice the eggs.
8) Peel the red onions, cut in half and slice in Julienne (thin slices). Sautee for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the vinegar.
9) Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed and season with salt. Cook the avocado for 1 minute in a pan with olive oil.
10) Serve the Mangu on the avocado and garnish with the red onions and the boiled egg.
