Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Ripe plantains
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 medium, chopped Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon, minced Ginger
- 2 large, chopped Tomatoes
- 1 chopped Red bell pepper
- 1 seeded and chopped Scotch bonnet pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried Thyme
- 2 cups, fresh Spinach
Instructions
Peel the plantains and cut them into 1-inch chunks.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add minced garlic and ginger, and continue to sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in chopped tomatoes, red bell pepper, and Scotch bonnet pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables start to break down.
Add the plantain chunks to the pot and stir to coat them in the tomato-pepper mixture.
Pour in the vegetable stock and stir in salt, smoked paprika, and dried thyme.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 25-30 minutes or until the plantains are tender and have absorbed the flavors.
Add fresh spinach to the pot, allowing it to wilt into the stew. Stir well.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
