Instructions

6 steps

  1. Blend the red bell peppers, red and yellow chili, onions and garlic (and the tomatoes). If your blender is small, blend in batches.
  2. Melt the butter in a pan, or use any cooking oil, and pour in the blended pepper mix.
  3. Season with thyme, dried basil, curry powder and salt. Add beef broth for depth. If the broth is already salty, add a little extra water to balance it.
  4. When the sauce is boiling, add the chopped plantain and the sausages.
  5. Stir in the chopped spring onions or other vegetables and simmer for about 2 minutes.
  6. Crack the eggs into the sauce, cover the pan, and cook until the eggs are firm.
