Mangu

Ingredients

• 3 green plantains
• 1 quart water
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 cup sliced white onion
• 1 1/2 tablespoons salt
• 1 cup sliced Anaheim peppers

Directions

Place the plantains and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook 20 minutes, until plantains are tender but slightly firm. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the liquid. Cool plantains, and peel.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the onion until tender.

In a bowl, mash the plantains with the reserved liquid and salt. Transfer to a food processor, mix in the peppers, and puree. Serve the pureed plantain mixture topped with the onions.
