Ingredients
- 200 grams white rice
- tomato sauce
- 1 small onion crested
- 1 plantain
- cooking oil
- 2 eggs
- salt
- 1 garlic
- bay leaf
Instructions
- Put twice the amount of water to amount of rice in a pot and with a clove of garlic, bay leaf and a small crested onion for flavor and bring to a boil.
- Add the rice once the water begins to boil and stir constantly with a wooden spoon for about 15 minutes to prevent the rice from sticking. Cook until just tender, strain it and rinse the excess starch under cold water.
- Now let's move on to the plantain. Use a ripe plantain and cut it in half and divide each half lengthwise again. Fry the plantain halves in a pan in about an inch of cooking oil until golden and cooked through. Transfer the plantain ti a kitchen-paper-lined dish to absorb the excess oil.
- The fried egg is simple. Add just a few drops of oil in a pan and crack the eggs inside. Cover with a lid and allow them to steam for a couple of minutes.
- Warm up the rice in the microwave or in a steamer for a little while since it will be cold after running through cold water.
- Use a small bowl to shape the rice and upturn onto the serving plates. Place the egg on top along with some tomato sauce and the fried plantain on the side.
