🌾 1 cup all-purpose flour
🛢️ Hot oil

Instructions
1- Prep Pickled Onions:
- Place the red onion rings in a glass mixing bowl.
- Add salt and pour in the white vinegar.
- Mix gently and let it soak while you prepare the other components.
2- Plantain Prep:
- Trim both ends of each plantain.
- Carefully score the skins lengthwise and peel.
- Cut them into 2-3 smaller pieces each.
3- Boil Plantains:
- In a large, enameled cast iron pot (like Le Creuset), bring water to a boil.
- Add the plantain pieces and a pinch of salt.
- Boil for about 30 minutes until tender.
4- Fry the Cheese:
- Slice the cheese and dredge each slice in flour to coat thoroughly.
- In the same pot or a separate frying pan, heat oil until very hot.
- Fry the cheese slices until they puff up and turn golden brown on both sides.
- Drain on paper towels.
5- Fry the Salami:
- Using the residual oil, fry the salami slices until they are crispy and browned on both sides.
- Drain on paper towels.
6- Mash the Plantains:
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the boiled plantains to a mixing bowl.
- Add a couple of ladles of the cooking liquid and the butter.
- Mash everything together with a potato masher until smooth.
- Enhance flavor by mixing in some oil from frying the salami and a bit of the pickling liquid from the onions.
7- Cook the Eggs:
- Fry the eggs sunny-side-up (or to your preference) in a separate frying pan.
8- Assemble and Serve:
- On a decorative ceramic plate, place a generous scoop of the mashed mangú.
