What's "Mangu"??? I have it on good authority (Thomson travel that gave the WRONG number for the Consulate general in it's travel documents) that DR people eat the following: Dominican Flag, Soncocho, Chivo and drink Presidente!!! NO mention of "Mangu" SOOOOO I don't believe you're Dominican at all - less Thomson would have told me!!! LOL!!! :-P
Joke aside, I'm curious, what is "Mangu"???? Emma ;-)

recipe...from last tuesday
Emma22, check out a more authoritative source in dominicancooking.com .....but as sweetdbt mentions, mangu is easy,tasty & cheap!!
Just last tuesday, I experimented a little with my mangu:
1) Get green meaty platanos
2) cut each in half, then lengthwise again (4 long pieces per platano).
3) boil in water,covered....but this time, I added about 6 whole garlic cloves, some oil, salt, pepper.
4) while the platanos boil, in a separate pan sautee a julienned medium onion, chopped upham, throw some olive oil and brown sugar.
5) take out the platano when its very soft....take a big fork and mash the platano with some of the boiling water and some oil and or butter....
6) Add concoction from sautee and mash again.
I guarantee you will love this!!!
PS almost forgot....don't let the garlic cloves crumble...so you can add them to the mangu and mash them too!

ok so you've never bee to the DR, I'm suspecting. Girl you need to get yourself downthere immediately and have one of those green meaty platanos.
I think its an acquired taste, like casabe, I think if I wasn't dominican I wouldn't like casabe at all, cause it doesn't have any taste at all, unless you smear it with some gravy fromthe meat stew (beef, chicken, pork) then its mmmmm good. (casabe is made from grating the yuca root into a flour and them is made into a pizza shape and put in an oven) its like a cracker you accompany your meal with it.
