Peel the plantains, cut them into medium slices and drop lemon drops on them. Reserve.

In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and add the chopped onion, sauteing until the onion wilts a little.

Add the plantain slices, season with salt and pepper and fill with the reserved water, partially covering the bananas.

Turn off the heat and in the pan, with the help of a mixer, beat all the ingredients until the puree is creamy and homogeneous.
