Ingredients

• 2-3 very ripe plantains

• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 3 cloves garlic – minced
• 1 large roma tomato – chopped
• 1 cup chopped bell pepper I chopped one green bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 1/2 cup chopped sausage I used chicken sausage
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Maggi
• 1/4 teaspoon ground white or black pepper
• Oil for deep frying the plantains
• 1/2 teaspoon oil (for greasing pie plate)

Preparation

• Pour 2 cups of vegetable oil and heat up

• Wash ripe plantain thoroughly and peel off the skin . In a mixing bowl, cut the plantain into preferred shape and size, sprinkle salt to taste and mix thoroughly to combine.

• Next, gently drop plantain piece after piece into the hot oil but be careful not to over crowd the pan so the temperature of the oil doesn’t drop.

• Fry on both sides for 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside.

• In another pan, heat up olive oil on medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic for 1 minute.

• Next, add tomatoes and leave to simmer for 2 minutes.

• Then add curry powder, thyme, ginger, seasoning cube, ground pepper, sausage and salt to taste. Stir and leave to cook for another 3 minutes on medium heat.

• Finally, add bell peppers, stir and allow to simmer for 2 minutes, then take off heat and set aside.

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and add sautéed vegetables, season with salt and pepper if necessary. Stir to combine.

• Coat frying pan with melted butter or vegetable oil.

• Then pour the egg mixture into the frying pan.

• Lay the fried plantain gently on top of the egg mixture and cover the frying pan with a lid and place on low heat, leave to cook for 20 minutes.
(It is important that you cover the frying pan with a lid and your heat is set to the lowest so that the frittata dosen’t burn.)

• From the lid, you can see that the egg mixture is starting to firm up.

• When it is completely firmed up, especially in the center, take off the lid and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

There you have it!
