Ingredients
- 3 bolillos sliced (see shopping notes)
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil for the frying
- 2 medium carrots skins removed
- 2 zucchini squash
- 2 large eggs
- 2 plantains see shopping notes
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 1 garlic clove
- 8 cups chicken stock
- 3 sprigs of thyme
- 1 ounce oregano
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 ounces raisins
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Lightly fry the bolillo slices in some vegetable oil until just crispy (one to two minutes). Allow to drain on paper towels.
- Cook the carrots and squash until they can be pierced with a fork but stay firm (six to eight minutes). Let cool, chop into medium slices, and set aside.
- Hard boil the eggs and peel the shell off, taking care to make sure all the tiny shell pieces are removed. Slice the eggs and set aside.
- Slice the plantains into medium-sized pieces and fry in five tablespoons of vegetable oil until they are light golden in color (about five minutes). Set aside.
- Chop the tomatoes, onion, and garlic into small pieces. Lightly fry in a saucepan with three tablespoons of vegetable oil.
- Add the chicken broth to the saucepan and stir in the oregano, thyme, and two tablespoons of sugar.
- Simmer for ten minutes, then taste and season with salt.
- Strain the broth and set the vegetables aside. Turn the heat to low.
- Arrange the fried bread slices in the bottom of a large casserole dish.
- Place a layer of vegetables, hardboiled egg, and plantains on top of the bread slices. Scatter some raisins on top.
- Repeat this process, alternating the layers of bread with the layers of vegetables, hardboiled egg, and plantains.
- Pour the hot broth over the casserole until it just covers the top layer of ingredients.
- Cover the casserole dish with a lid and let rest for five minutes.
- Serve hot.
