Mangú is probably the thing that Dominicans who follow the ketogenic diet, or a low carb diet miss the most. It would seem impossible that we'd get to enjoy it. Well... here are some tricks.
Boil the plantain over medium heat until it turns fork tender. Add the cauliflower and simmer until it is heated through, but before it is fully cooked (or it will turn mushy). Remove plantain and cauliflower from the water and place in the food processor.
2. Making the puree
Add butter, and blend until you obtain a smooth mash without any clumps. Season with salt to taste. Pour in the onion powder and mix. Remove from the processor and set aside. Wait 2-3 minutes to serve, the mixture may look thin right out of the processor, but it'll thicken when it's a bit cooler.
3. How to serve
Fry queso de freír, longaniza, and eggs and serve together. You may also serve with avocado.

Notes
Yes! You can totally refrigerate or freeze it. You can separate into 6 different small containers and freeze to have a portion of keto mangú at hand when needed. You can microwave it or reheat on the stovetop as needed.
