Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 ripe plantains, peeled and chopped (the blacker they are the riper they are)*
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
- salt
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 red bell peppers, chopped
- 2 cups kale, stemmed and chopped
- 4 to 8 eggs
- black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare: Heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat a large nonstick skilet that’s oven safe over medium heat.
- Cook the plantains: Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the pan. Add the plantains and a good pinch of salt. Allow them to cook in an even layer until they sort of caramelize before stirring them (about 5 minutes). Cook another 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally or until the plantains are fork tender. A minute before they are done cooking season with 1 teaspoon of the smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic powder. Transfer the plantains to a dish and set aside.
- Cook the veggies: Returning to the still hot pan melt the remainder of the butter (1 tablespoon). Add the onion and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the bell peppers and saute for another 3 minutes. Stir in the kale and the remainder of the spices: 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and a good pinch of salt. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the kale is slightly wilted.
- Cook the eggs: Spread the veggie mixture into an even layer in the pan. Crack the eggs right on top of the veggies (use only as many eggs as you are planning to eat at the time). Transfer the pan to the oven for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the eggs are just set and the yolks are still jiggly.
- Serve: Sprinkle the eggs with black pepper and salt. Serve immediately.
- Leftovers: For leftovers we like to heat up the hash in the microwave and then cook a few eggs on the stove top seperately and eat them together. Super delicious this way!
