Recipe - Plantain Pie

Plantain Pie

You will need:

2 fingers of Plantain
1 egg (uncooked)

Seasoning (of your choice)

I used -

Soy sauce
Thyme
Curry

Filling

I used -

Green, Red and Yellow Bell Peppers
Onion
Scotch Bonnet Peppers
1 large Chicken and Turkey Sausage
Carrots



DIRECTIONS

Boil your plantains till soft.
Place the boiled plantains in your blender or food processor.
Break an egg in and blend till you have a puree.
Let's call that puree, the "PLANTAIN DOUGH".

Shred or slice your veggies and sausage.
In your nonstick pan or wok, sautee or steam and season your veggies and sausage to your desired texture (I always love mine soft but still crunchy).

Grease an oven or microwave safe dish.
Spread about half or a quarter of your plantain dough as the bottom layer of the pie.
(You have to be calculative here, lol)
Spread as much filling as you would love.
Spread the remaining plantain dough over the filling as the top layer of the pie.

Place your ready-to-bake pie in the oven / microwave. ( I used my microwave)
Let bake for about 13 - 15 mins or till the pie shrinks off all around  the edges of the dish.
Once your pie is ready, let it cool before you cut.

To be on the safe side you can check at intervals to avoid the pie getting burnt.
