Sweet Plantain Omelet, Fried Bread, Red Pepper Sauce Recipe - Cooking Index
| 1 lb | 454g / 16oz | All-purpose flour |
| 3 oz | 85g | Powdered milk |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Salt |
| 1 1/2 tablespoons | 22ml | Baking powder |
| 4 oz | 113g | Solid vegetable shortening |
| 1 cup | 237ml | Ice water |
| Olive oil - for frying, plus | ||
| 4 tablespoons | 60ml | Olive oil |
| 9 | Eggs | |
| Salt - to taste | ||
| Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste | ||
| 2 | Ripe plantains (medium) | |
| 3 | Spanish onions - sliced (large) | |
| 2 | Red peppers - roasted, sliced | |
| 1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Crushed garlic |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Chopped cilantro |
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, powdered milk, salt, and baking powder. On a flat surface, make a well with the combined dry ingredients. Place the shortening and 1 cup of water in the well. Working your way inward, start to work the shortening and dry ingredients into a dough. When dough is no longer sticky, cover with oiled plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 1 hour.
On flat floured surface, roll out the dough to a circle about 1/2-inch thick. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut round pieces from the dough.
Heat up about 2 inches of oil at 350 degrees, and then fry the dough for about 1 minute on each side until they puff. Place in a warm oven only until the omelet is ready.
Whisk the eggs in a small bowl with a sprinkle each of salt and pepper.
Cut plantains on a bias and fry in very hot oil until golden on both sides, then remove from oil and set aside.
In a separate pan, saute 2 onions in 1 tablespoon of olive oil for about 2 minutes then add the fried plantains and pour the eggs in. Turn the heat down to low and cook for about 8 minutes or until the top is almost thoroughly cooked. Flip the omelet over and cook for about 6 more minutes.
Saute the remaining onion in 3 tablespoons of oil, add the roasted peppers, garlic, and cilantro. Cook until tender then puree and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Cut omelet into 4 equal quarters and serve on top of pepper sauce with the fried bread.
