Ingredients:

• 4 unripe plantains
• 4 tablespoons of butter

Before Starting to Cook:
Peel the plantains and cut into 8 pieces.

Method:
Boil the plantains adding 2 teaspoons of salt to the water. When the plantains are very tender turn off the heat.

Take the plantains out of the water and mash them with a fork. Add the butter and the cold water and keep mashing until it is very smooth. Garnish with the onions and serve with scrambled eggs or deep-fried slices of salami.
