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.
