Disclosure: I was given some products from Follow Your Heart to create this recipe.
This is my take on a traditional Dominican breakfast dish. The traditional dish consists of mangú (mashed green plantains), queso de freir (white fried cheese), fried salami and fried eggs. My vegan version consists of a sweet mangú, vegan mozzarella cheese, vegan salami and scrambled vegan eggs. I used the yellow sweet plantains instead of the green plantains but you can easily use the green ones in this recipe. The vegan mozzarella cheese and vegan eggs from Follow Your Heart are the perfect substitutions for this recipe.

Yield: 2 servings
Sweet Mangú
Ingredients:
3 yellow plantains or green for the traditional mangú
3 tablespoons vegan butter
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
Directions:
1. Slice the plantains into thirds and add them to a pot and cover them with enough water that covers them plus a little more.
2. Bring to a boil. Cook for 10-30 minutes or until they are soft.
3. Remove the plantains from the water but save some of the water in case the plantains need some liquid when you mash them.
4. Peel and mash the plantains with either a potato masher or a food processor.
5. Add the vegan butter, salt, garlic powder and onion powder and mix into the plantain puree until it’s smooth and creamy. If the mangú isn’t getting creamy as you mash it add some of the water from the pot you boiled them in and continue to mash them.
6. Top the mangú with some pickled red onions. Get the recipe for the pickled red onions here.
