I’m Puerto Rican but I was adopted and grew up in the states my fiancé is Dominican your channel has helped me learn to make all his favorite foods❤️ I appreciate you so much you do a great job
I was born and partly brought up in St. Croix/West Indies. I love ethnic/Caribbean dishes!! Mangu, to me, is way better/healthier than (mashed) potatoes The first time I ate mangu was many years ago, and the last/recent time I've had this was almost two weeks ago at someone's apartment when their home health aide caretaker cooked this with stewed chicken thighs. I've been craving this ever since and will be making this a lot. Thanks for sharing this wonderful, easy, healthy, and direct recipe.
This is SOOO GOOD😫😭! Followed this recipe to a T, it was FABULOUS! I’m African American so I didn’t grow up on this and never knew about it, but I’m glad I got the MEMO finally🤣🤣 Chef Zee you the bomb girl🏆🥇🎖
I made this the other day and my Dominican husband loved it!!! I actually bought some mangu but it wasn’t as good as when I made it with your recipe. I love your channel. You’re so sweet and very informative.
My mother in law who is Dominican cuts some onion into tiny pieces and sautées it just the same as you but mixes it into the mangu as she is smashing it. Delicious!
Thank you, Alba! My sister is the same way. Lol I love onions so my mom and I usually fight over hers. Your comment made me smile this morning :) Thank you for that. I love your channel and have been a subscriber and supporter for years!
Mangú came from the region of the Congo, when there was slave trade, from a similar dish they eat made with boiled plantains. The name of the dish is mangusi. The word mangú comes from this West African word mangusi, which refers to any mashed vegetable from the earth.Nov 6, 2018
Love to see your recipes! But this time You forgot to add cold water to maintain the softness for a long time. This is a good lunch for some kids. I've seen some bring it to school trips or even as their school lunch. This is for those who do not like the school lunch.
I have to say Chef Zee, that I've never had Mangu! I've had plantain fufu, which is also made from green plantain. I could eat some of that with the pollo guisado...I'm drooling just thinking about it! I know I'm missing out on mangu - but thanks to your recipe - I'm gonna fix that soon!
So glad I came across your channel. My mother is Dominican and my dad is American but we ate mostly Dominican food. My mom for some reason didn’t have the patience to teach me but I love the food I grew up on. Your videos are easy to follow and you are so sweet. New sub here!
A lady I was conversating with at a shop told me her daughter worked at a latino restaurant and she told me they use some evaporated milk to give that smooth buttery flavor,i tried it that way and it turned out really good .
I’m Puerto Rican but I was adopted and grew up in the states. My fiancé is Dominican your channel has helped me learn to make all his favorite foods❤️ I appreciate you so much you do a great job
I'm happy to have found your channel. My mom is from the DR and has taught me to make a few things when I was a teen but she never made us mangu for some reason. Really like the video, very professional and easy to follow. Dominican food is definitely a handed down tradition with lots of eyeballing I noticed, haha. :)
I’ve used olive oil as well and it’s just as good! My mom actually prefers it without butter and with olive oil. She’ll be happy to hear that she’s not the only one 😉
My grandmother made it but she called it pound plantain.. she used a mortar and pestle.. always throw in a little of the plantain water but she made it a bit firmer and she would slice it or make little balls.. it's delicious you can even use the very small bananas it's called sickeya fig....that's in trinidad
Thank you!. Your videos are super usual my hubby is Dominican, and I'm from the islands. So I love making him his kind of food every now and again. Thank you!
Thank you!!!! I do the cold water trick whenever I'm not going to serve the mangu right away... other than that I'm eating the Mangu on the spot lol!!! Thank you so much for watching and the tip :)
I add Garlic to the Plantains while it's Boiling to kick it up a notch. I don't eat Pork so I use Goya Pork Flavor Packet to the Water too. I like my Mangu with Chivo, Rabo, or Chicken Guisado. mmm ha
I like my mangu con revoltillo de huevo and cream cheese mashed in. I never eat the onions but, I pour tons of the sauce over it, lol...and I use some of the onion sauce to make the revoltillo. Yum!
Oh man, here it is midnight browsing for some DR comfort foods. I miss the smell, sounds and just the attitude out there... gonna make me some with tomato sauce. Just wish plantains weren’t so expensive
I boil the plantains until they become soft which can sometimes take anywhere from 15-25 mins. You'll also notice that they change color from a bright yellow to dark mustardy-yellow green color. I personally don't add onion or garlic powder but I know people who do and it's delicious. If you wanted to add it, add it while you're mashing the plantains. I would add a tiny bit at first-- like a 1/4 of tsp or less and then taste it. You can always adjust the garlic and onion powder as you go. It's easier to add more, harder to take away. I hope this helps!
Mira muchacha!!! I loooooooove your channel! Thank you for your recipes. Mangu is something that’s so nostalgic for me. I love it!! Keep up the great work and much love and success to you girl! ❤️
Hi Zee love mangu I'm Puerto Rican & Cuban & Jamaican never made before though. I love the onions Do you need the yellow soft plantains or the ones which are hard. I wish you showed them before you cut them up. Thanks for sharing love my Latin food.
Are we draining the vinegar and adding only the onions to the oil to sauté OR are we adding both onion and vinegar to the pan to sauté? Thank you so much for sharing. We love this dish. I never knew it was so easy to make
My roommate and I have looked at many different versions! But…..we couldn’t get passed the making our Carmel !! it was either to hot or not hot enough. I think that I have destroyed two of my better pans. So now we have cooled off and stopped yelling at each other! 😢 Will let ya know when we have it done. So God Bless and we are going to try and fix it! Hopefully we will try and get it done! Oh boy here we go again… No fighting 😊
I’m Puerto Rican but I was adopted and grew up in the states my fiancé is Dominican your channel has helped me learn to make all his favorite foods❤️ I appreciate you so much you do a great job

Woot wot!
Chef Zee Cooks omg thank you so much for repling!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
AQUI!
aww you have my bfs last name lol
I can't wait to try this! I'm half Mexican/ Dominican and have never had Dominican food, so this should be a good one to start with, thank you!
best food ever nothing beats dominican food
Facts🇩🇴
me too
My mother in law who is Dominican cuts some onion into tiny pieces and sautées it just the same as you but mixes it into the mangu as she is smashing it. Delicious!
This looks so delicious! I've only had fried plantains, but this looks like something I could make myself!
You forgot the trick of adding cold water to the mangú for softness!
I was just going to say this.. lol
Just curious the hot water she poured doesn’t make it softer? I’m colombian and lovee this i want to learn
From what I understand the ice cold water stops the cooking process.
True! I was waiting on it..
Thats what i said
I made my first mangu breakfast and it was the bomb!!!!!! I love it!!
Yesss!!! That's amazing. Thank you so much for trying the recipe.
This how I make it too! Except I never actually eat the onions I just like the flavoring :) I love your channel 💕
Thank you, Alba! My sister is the same way. Lol I love onions so my mom and I usually fight over hers.
Your comment made me smile this morning :) Thank you for that. I love your channel and have been a subscriber and supporter for years!
@@Alyssa-cb7zj yes
@@Chefzeecooks I have questions Which salami should I use to cook with that
When firing your onions you need to add vinegar to it and let it cook some more. Adds another level of great flavor.
@@MM-nn4vz si no es campesino, quitalo de mi camino
Cuando los americanos llegaron a RD , probaron ese plato dijeron Man! That's Good! , Los campesinos dominicanos entonces lo Llamaron " MANGÚ ".
Estas en lo correcto!!!
No sabia esa historia jejejeje 😅

Ah so this mangu!! This puertorican wants some of that nice dominican cuisine! Se ve exquisito
Thank you! So happy that you like!
Thank you so much for this! My boyfriend is Puerto Rican and Dominican and he put me onto this and I’ve been dying to make some myself 😍
You're welcome. You should definitely try it. You will like it! It's so good.

I’m Puerto Rican and grew up eating this! One of my favorites! Only I don’t use butter or margarine, I use olive oil.
I’ve used olive oil as well and it’s just as good! My mom actually prefers it without butter and with olive oil. She’ll be happy to hear that she’s not the only one 😉
I'm African american, but I was born in the dominican in my past life!! Hmmmmmm!! lol
Thank you so much for your mangu and queso frito recipes. Ever since my friend's grandma made me this for breakfast in DR I've been craving it.
You're welcome!!!
I made it this weekend and it came out delicious! Thank you chef zeeeeee!
You’re welcome ☺️

Your recipe was easy to follow and absolutely delicious.
This was easy to make, and it is delicious. Thank you for the recipe! 💗
Thank you!. Your videos are super usual my hubby is Dominican, and I'm from the islands. So I love making him his kind of food every now and again. Thank you!
The first time I had mangu I instantly fell in love with it and it is so awesome on every level. Still is to this day!!
Even after moving from NY, I still make mangu and love making it for friends that never heard of it lol.
I'm Puerto Rican- Honduran and mangu in my favorite breakfast dish ever. Like.... DAMN its good
My bf is Dominican and i'm trying to learn how to make these recipes, and man they look so delicious. Thanks!
This is such a great channel!
That masher wasn’t outside when grandma was popping them shoulders. Salute. Mouth watering btw.
By the way thanks a lot for this recipe. I cook it up like I’m serving a bowl of cereal super convenient. I’m a mangu snob now 😂
Yessss! new video! New recipe!
Yessir. ^_^ Thanks for stopping by :)
My Dominican Mrs’s abuela made this for me it’s was absolutely banging mate.
This looks good but adding cold water instead of the water that you used to boil them in will keep them soft. But good job 👍🏽
Thank you!!!! I do the cold water trick whenever I'm not going to serve the mangu right away... other than that I'm eating the Mangu on the spot lol!!! Thank you so much for watching and the tip :)
DaRkMirRoR265 thanks for the tip im new in doing mangu soo i definitely gonna do with the cold water thanks sooo much
Ughhh As a Belize’s girl I loveeee this too !!
Dominican food is so good.
This just became my favorite Christmas song…🎉🎉
Love how clear you made this. And you're beautiful. God bless.
Aww thank you! Means the world. I try my hardest to make the recipe as easy and simple to follow ^_^
I add Garlic to the Plantains while it's Boiling to kick it up a notch. I don't eat Pork so I use Goya Pork Flavor Packet to the Water too. I like my Mangu with Chivo, Rabo, or Chicken Guisado. mmm ha
My dad makes some of the most amazing mangu I've ever had. Whenever I eat it I feel like I'm melting. Tastes like childhood

I like my mangu con revoltillo de huevo and cream cheese mashed in. I never eat the onions but, I pour tons of the sauce over it, lol...and I use some of the onion sauce to make the revoltillo. Yum!
Mi desayuno favorito 😍 arriba la Republica Dominicana ❤
Mixing with cold water makes its nice and smooth doesn't get dry.
This was so easy!! Tasted great!!! Family has requested I make it again for Saturday morning breakfast!
My mom taught me that adding cold water to the mangu in small quantities helps soften and smooth out the mangu!
Oh man, here it is midnight browsing for some DR comfort foods. I miss the smell, sounds and just the attitude out there...
gonna make me some with tomato sauce. Just wish plantains weren’t so expensive
Awesome channel! I’ve always wanted to try Mangu! I’ll be making it
Soon!
You’re gorgeous btw!
Great video! Gonna try this! God bless you and yours! Praying for you!
I love dominican food. Especially dominican stew. Mmmmmm now!!! How do you cook tha
@BigWill 2593 .She's talking about El Sancocho. 🤔in reality is like a Stew......is Almost same ingredients.... 😁
How long do you boil the plantains? & do you add any garlic or onion powder to the mangú? & How much would you recommend if I wanted to add it?
I boil the plantains until they become soft which can sometimes take anywhere from 15-25 mins. You'll also notice that they change color from a bright yellow to dark mustardy-yellow green color.

I hope this helps!

Hi Zee love mangu I'm Puerto Rican & Cuban & Jamaican never made before though. I love the onions Do you need the yellow soft plantains or the ones which are hard. I wish you showed them before you cut them up. Thanks for sharing love my Latin food.

Going to try and make this tonight, thanks for the recipe
YEEEEERRRRRRR QUE LO QUE WHERE THE DOMINICANOS @👀🔥❤️💯
Le falto agregarle un poquito de agua fría al final para que el mango se mantenga suave por más tiempo y no se ponga duro
Perfect but its better to use super cold water the mangu can sit and the texture will always be soft
I hear some New Yawk in ya tawk. Tres golpes with Dominican cawfeee is the best.
I subscribed to your Chanel a few days ago I really enjoy watching your videos so relaxing .. keep the good job
