Ingredients

For the Frittata

  • Ripe plantains
  • Eggs
  • Onion, chopped
  • Tomatoes, chopped
  • Fresh pepper, chopped
  • Green bell pepper, chopped
  • Spring onions, chopped
  • Sausages or your preferred protein
  • Curry powder
  • Seasoning cube
  • Salt
  • Vegetable oil

Procedure

  1. 1Chop the vegetables into small, bite-sized pieces. Cut the plantains into chunky pieces, season lightly with salt, and toss to coat.
  2. 2Heat vegetable oil in a pan and fry the plantains until golden brown on the outside. Remove and set aside.
  3. 3In another pan, sauté the onions, tomatoes, fresh pepper, green bell pepper, and spring onions until slightly softened.
  4. 4Add the seasoning cube, salt, sausage or your chosen protein, and curry powder. Stir well and cook briefly.
  5. 5Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a little salt, and whisk until combined.
  6. 6Add the sautéed vegetable mixture to the eggs and mix everything together.
  7. 7Lightly grease a pan and pour in the egg mixture. Arrange the fried plantains evenly over the top.
  8. 8Cover the pan and cook on low heat until the eggs are completely set and the frittata is cooked through.

Isaiah's Notes

  • Keep the heat low once the eggs go into the pan so the bottom doesn't burn before the centre cooks.
  • Don't overcrowd the top with plantains. Leave enough space for the egg mixture to hold everything together.
  • You can swap the sausage for any protein you like.

Slice and serve warm on its own, or pair it with a fresh salad, bread, or your favourite breakfast side.
