Prepare the Plantains

Peel the plantains and cut them into chunks.

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the plantain chunks and cook until tender, about 20-25 minutes.

Mash the Plantains

Drain the cooked plantains and return them to the pot.

Mash the plantains with a potato masher until smooth. You can add a little water or milk if needed to achieve the desired consistency.

Prepare the Toppings

In a small pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened and fragrant.

Combine and Serve

Stir the onion and garlic mixture into the mashed plantains. Add salt to taste and mix well.
