How to make Nigerian Plantain Frittata
First step get all your ingredients ready
Wash the plantains, peel, and slice them into circles or any shape of your choice. Sprinkle a dash of salt on them.
Pour some oil into a frying pan, allow it to heat, and gently add the sliced plantains into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and set aside. Do not let them burn.
Chop the onions, bell peppers, fresh pepper, carrot, tomatoes, green peppers, and sausage.
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk thoroughly.
In the frying pan, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of groundnut oil. Add the onions and stir for a minute. Add the carrot, tomatoes, and bell peppers, and stir.
Add the seasoning and salt to taste, then add the sausage. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
In the bowl with the whisked eggs, add the fried veggies and fried plantains. Mix well.
Transfer the mixture into the frying pan. Sprinkle some more veggies on top, like the sliced red and green bell peppers.
Place the frying pan on the cooker and let it cook on low heat for 20 to 25 minutes. Your egg and plantain frittata is ready.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the plantains are not overripe to avoid them becoming too mushy.
Cook on low heat to ensure the frittata cooks evenly without burning.
FAQS
Can I use only ripe or unripe plantains for this frittata?
Yes, you can use either ripe or unripe plantains, or a combination of both, depending on your taste preference. Ripe plantains will add sweetness, while unripe ones will provide a more savory flavor.
What can I substitute for groundnut oil?
You can substitute groundnut oil with other neutral oils such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or sunflower oil. Olive oil can also be used for a different flavor profile.
How can I make this frittata vegetarian?
To make the frittata vegetarian, simply omit the sausage and consider adding more vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for added flavor and nutrition.
What is the best way to store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat it in a microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
Can I add cheese to the frittata?
Absolutely! Adding cheese like feta, cheddar, or mozzarella can enhance the flavor of the frittata. Just sprinkle it on top before cooking or mix it in with the eggs and vegetables.
