👨‍🍳 Instructions

Place the plantains and water in a saucepan.

Bring to a boil, and cook 20 minutes, until plantains are tender but slightly firm.

Drain, reserving 1 cup of the liquid.

Cool plantains, and peel.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the onion until tender.

In a bowl, mash the plantains with the reserved liquid and salt.

Transfer to a food processor, mix in the peppers, and puree.

Serve the pureed plantain mixture topped with the onions.
