Prep: 15 minutesCook: 20 minutes
Story
As Don Luis mashed the boiled green plantains, he reminisced about the warm Caribbean mornings where Mangú was the heart of every breakfast. “This dish is pure comfort,” he said, drizzling the golden garlic mojo over the silky-smooth plantains. With crispy onions on top and a side of queso frito, every bite was a taste of tradition. Prep & Cook Time
