For a richer flavor, try using homemade vegetable broth instead of water to boil the plantains. If you prefer a spicier kick, substitute the Anaheim peppers with jalapeños or other hot peppers to taste. Mangu is traditionally served with fried eggs, fried Dominican salami, and cheese for a complete Dominican breakfast. Don't discard the plantain skins! They can be used to make plantain chips or broth.
