Place plantains in a pot with boiling salted water. Cook for 15-20 minutes until very tender and easily crumble.
3
🥄 Drain
Remove plantains with a colander and reserve the cooking water. Let drain well.
4
🍽️ Mash
In the same pot, mash the plantains with a masher until creamy, gradually adding hot broth and milk.

🧈 Mix
Stir in butter and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and homogeneous texture.

Transfer to a hot bowl and serve immediately as a main side dish.
💡 Chef's tip: For creamier Mangú, add more broth or milk. Serve hot accompanied by fried cheese, eggs, or Dominican-style meats.
