Plantains With Jammy Tomatoes And Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the cumin, bell pepper, onion, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and starting to caramelize in spots, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the tomatoes and their juices and use a potato masher to crush the whole tomatoes until no large chunks are remaining. Stir in the honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced by about half and resembles a thick jam, with little moisture left, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to a bowl or food storage container and let cool to room temperature for 30 minutes. Cover the jam and refrigerate until chilled, 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Just before serving, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 5 to 6 minutes.
• For each serving, spread about 2 tablespoons of the tomato jam on top of a piece of toast. Top the toast with a fried egg and a few avocado slices. Drizzle with hot sauce if using. Refrigerate any leftover jam in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, fry the plantains in butter until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Fry the eggs to desired degree of doneness in butter. In another saute pan, fry the corn tortillas in butter. Set aside.
• Layer tortilla with ham, eggs, and the salsa. Top with sour cream, peas, and fresh cheese. Garnish with the plantain.
• Combine all the ingredients and boil for 20 minutes and then chop in blender and add salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy-duty skillet over high heat. Place 4 to 5 plantain slices in a single layer in the pan and cook until golden brown and tender, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining plantain slices.
• Sprinkle cooked plantains with salt and drizzle with lime.

Steps:

• Cut off the tips of each plantain. Use a sharp knife to create a slit in the skin along the length of each plantain, carefully making sure not to cut into the flesh. Remove and discard the skin by peeling it apart. Slice each plantain in half lengthwise, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Thinly slice one onion half, then transfer the slices to a medium bowl. Quarter the remaining onion half lengthwise, and pull the layers apart.
• In a large, deep skillet or sauté pan, pour 1/2 inch oil and heat over medium. When hot, add the larger onion pieces and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove and discard the cooked onion.
• Working in batches to avoid crowding, fry the plantains, stirring halfway through, until browned and caramelized at the edges, 10 to 12 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• While the plantains are frying, toss the sliced onion with the lime juice, red-pepper flakes and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Let marinate, at least 10 minutes.
• Toss the fried plantains in the bowl with the pickled onion mixture while still warm. Add the lime zest and season to taste with salt. Serve immediately.
