Mangú

Common card · No. 351109

Mangú is the national breakfast dish of the Dominican Republic. It can also be served for lunch or dinner. The dish is made from boiled green plantains that are mashed and topped with pickled red onions and traditionally accompanied by fried cheese, salami, and eggs, which is a combination popularly known as "los tres golpes" ("the three hits"). Mangú's origins are linked to West African fufu, which was brought to the Caribbean and Latin America through the transatlantic slave trade. Over time, enslaved Africans and their descendants adapted the dish using local ingredients and techniques, resulting in regional variations such as mangú.
