Noodles and plantain frittata

Ingredients

4 large slices
  1. 120 g pack noodles
  2. 4 medium eggs
  3. 2 ripe plantains
  4. 5 small tomatoes
  5. Scotch bonnet chillies (to taste)
  6. 1 small onion
  7. 2 tbsps olive oil
  8. 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  9. Salt
  10. Vegetable oil for frying the plantain

Steps

  1. First prep your ingredients; wash and chop your tomatoes and chillies, slice your onions thinly. Wash and peel your plantains and cut into your desired size.
  2. Add noodles to about 1.5 glasses of boiling water; cook for 2 minutes. Add the seasoning and chilli powder contained in the pack of noodles, along with your turmeric powder. Cook for one more minute and set aside.
  3. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a pan and add your plantains in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry on both sides for 3-4 mins or until slightly brown. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
  4. Set another pan over medium heat and add your olive oil. Sauté your onions in the oil for about a min or until translucent, add your tomatoes and chillies and fry for a further 2-3 mins. Turn off heat and leave to cool.
  5. Break your eggs into a bowl, add the fried tomatoes along with some salt and mix together.
  6. Coat a non-stick frying pan with cooking spray or vegetable oil. Spread your noodles around the base of the pan and pour the egg mixture over it. Lay the fried plantains gently over the egg mixture; place a lid over the pan and set over low heat. Cook for 10-15mins or until the egg is completely firmed up.
    Turn off the heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
