Mangu

Servings: 2

Ingredients:

2 green plantains, peeled

3 cups water

1 tablespoon butter

1 tsp Sazon Goya con Azafran ( with saffron)

4'tsp mojo

4 -6 pieces turkey bacon, baked and crumble.

Directions:

1

To peel plantains, cut off ends then cut in the middle or into thirds if very large. Then make a slice through lengthwise, from cut end, to cut end. Make another slice a quarter of the way around and then peel off that piece. I often make 3 -4 cuts equidistant around then peel them off with the side of the knife. They should just pop off.

2

Boil the plantains with butter and Sazon Goya until tender (like potatoes). Drain and reserve the broth. Mash plantains, adding reserved water broth plus,  bacon fat until they look like mashed potatoes.

3

In meantime while boiling plantains, baked  the bacon and drain on paper towels. crumbled up 4 pieces of bacon if desired. Used other pieces of bacon to served on the side.

4

Transfer mangu to plate and top with mojo. Served with a side of bacon and scramble eggs.
