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!
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.
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🏆🥇🎖
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!
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!
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 😉
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!
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 .
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.
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!
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
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.
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!
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
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 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! ❤️
Thanks Chef Zee for this recipe! I have had this topped with sauteed onions in balsamic vinegar. Sooo delish! Made by a Dominican, but not sure the origin.
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’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 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 😉
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.

@@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.

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 .
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.
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
Pro tip: use ice water to mash the platanos so it can remain smooth. Ice water stops it from cooking more and hardening
I eat that so many times! Were my Dominican squad at?
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
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 just cooked this following your recipe. OMG! Best mangu ever Thanks so much!
Yesss! So happy that you liked!
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 😅
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

My question is what did the campesinos call it before the americanos arrived? 🤔
This is such a great channel!

Made To Order thanks, Chef Zee! I had to make it! I'm half Dominican and half Cuban like you!

How long do i leave the plantain in water after boiling it?.....do i leave it overnight?
Gracias!

I typically use olive oil and butter ; its amazing
Thanks much! I will be making this tonight for hubby as his valentine's day meal ❤️💞
I LOVE UR RECIPES!! U HAVE MOTIVATED ME TO TRY NEW THINGS!! I DID THIS TODAY AND WE LOVED IT!!
El mío me quedo delicioso, muchas gracias por la receta! ❤️
thank you chef Zee my cooking is improving 1000% thanks to you !
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 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!
Made To Order thanks so much you're a life saver ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You're welcome :)
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
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 😂
Dominican food is so good.
My mom taught me that adding cold water to the mangu in small quantities helps soften and smooth out the mangu!
Awesome channel! I’ve always wanted to try Mangu! I’ll be making it
Soon!
You’re gorgeous btw!
🤤 haven't had this since 2018, I love this
It's one of my faves!
Love this video. Thanks
If I can make it, it must be easy! DR guy on my baseball team said I did okay. Can't get the pretty pink onions in the UK though?
I’m about to cry. It looks so good!
Hello new to your channel, I do have a question, how long do you cook the plantains? And what temp do you keep them on?
Excente y deliciosos mangu in buen probecho Dios estas en tu corazon

Thanks Chef Zee for this recipe! I have had this topped with sauteed onions in balsamic vinegar. Sooo delish! Made by a Dominican, but not sure the origin.
The original dish is from Africa
I'm Puerto Rican- Honduran and mangu in my favorite breakfast dish ever. Like.... DAMN its good
I live in LA and Caribbean markets are hard to find. For sausage what can I use in its place? Thank you.
Perfect but its better to use super cold water the mangu can sit and the texture will always be soft
