Directions
Serve the plantain hash warm, garnished with the bright mango salsa and extra chopped cilantro. Pair with a side of avocado or a squeeze of lime for added zest. Enjoy with Caribbean herbal tea or your favorite morning beverage. For an oil-free version, sauté vegetables and plantains in a nonstick pan with a splash of water. Adjust spice level by using more or less cayenne pepper.
