Who this list is for
This Dominican mangu breakfast recipe is made for home cooks serving four people who want to prepare a traditional tres golpes platter.

How to use this list
Start by shopping for green plantains, red onions, white vinegar, unsalted butter, whole milk, eggs, Dominican salami, frying cheese, neutral cooking oil, and kosher salt. Peel and boil the plantains first, since mangu takes the most time. While they cook, slice onions for pickling and prep the cheese and salami for frying. Use the vinegar to marinate the onions. Fry the cheese and salami just before serving, and scramble or fry the eggs last so everything is hot when plated.
Common mistakes
People sometimes use ripe plantains instead of green—stick with green for the right texture. Don’t skip marinating the onions in vinegar, or you’ll miss a key flavor. Avoid using too much oil when frying cheese; it should be golden, not greasy. Overcooking the eggs or plantains can dry out the dish. Make sure to get Dominican salami and frying cheese; substitutes change the taste and authenticity.
