The video begins with Prince Royce enthusiastically peeling and chopping green plantains, the star ingredient of Mangú. He adds the plantain chunks to a pot of boiling water, generously seasoned with salt. As the plantains simmer, he multitasks, showcasing his expertise by dicing red onions and crushing garlic cloves.

After marinating the  onions  and garlic, he skillfully sautés them in a pan until they softened. Meanwhile, he expertly slices Dominican salami and cheese, readying them for a crispy fry.

As the components come together, Prince Royce transfers the cooked plantains to a bowl, where they await their transformation into creamy Mangú. Armed with a trusty masher, he combines the plantains into a velvety puree, ensuring a perfect consistency.

He adds slices of creamy avocado. And let’s not forget the third “golpe”—two sunny-side-up eggs complete the masterpiece.

As the video concludes, Prince Royce invites his followers to savor the fruits of his labor, urging them to recreate Mangú in their own kitchens. So, grab your apron, and let’s embark on a delicious journey to the heart of the Dominican Republic with Prince Royce as our guide. ¡Buen provecho!
