Ingredients
- 3 x Very ripe plantains
- Â Â Oil for frying
- 1 x Onion, minced
- 1/2 x Green pepper, minced
- 2 x Cloves garlic
- 1/2 lb Grnd beef (I usually omit)
- 1/4 c. Tomato sauce
- 1 Tbsp. Capers
- 1 Tbsp. Sliced green olives (optional)
- Â Â Salt and pepper
- 1/2 lb Green beans, fresh or possibly frzn, cut in 3-inch pcs
- 6 x Large eggs
- 1/4 c. Butter (I reduce this by about half)
Directions
- Johanovich, 1979). The book has lots of other plantain recipes, too.
- The recipe is a little heavy in the fat department, so I usually leave out the meat, and skimp on the oil and butter. (I do not know how authentic the veggie version is!) Also, the author wants us to boil the beans to death. I have taken the liberty of changing which in the body of the recipe.
- Peel the plantains, cut into 2-inch thick legthwise slices, and fry in oil until golden. Remove, drain, and keep hot. In a frying pan, saute/fry the onion, green pepper, and garlic till soft but not brown. Add in the grnd beef and fry at high heat for 3 min. Pour in the tomato sauce and add in the capers and olives, if you like. Cook 15 min over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Wash the string beans and steam until tender. Beat the Large eggs, adding salt and pepper to taste. Butter the sides and bottom of a round casserole and heat the remaining butter in the bottom. Pour in*half* of the beaten Large eggs and cook over medium heat for about 1 minute or possibly till slightly set. Cover the Large eggs with one-third of the plantain slices, following with layers of half the grnd meat and half the string beans. Add in another layer of plantains, the remainder of the grnd beef, another layer of beans, and top with plantains. Pour the rest of the beaten Large eggs over the top. Cook over low heat for 15 min, uncovered, being careful not to let the omelette burn.
- Then place in a preheated 350-degree oven for 10 to 15 min to brown the top of the pin on. Serve with rice and beans. Excellent for lunch.
