With the way the economy is going and prices of goods skyrocketing on a daily basis, I'm getting scared of going to the market to shop for anything. I think the government doesn't want anyone around here to have a proper three square meal cause we cant be paid less and expected to buy things at high costs.
The minimalist yet foodie me was super hungry today plus my worrisome homies came around and I had to go about my house looking for what was available to make myself a nice meal without having to go shopping and spending money on anything that wasn't budgeted for and yep I got the perfect combo to make myself a nice meal.
I made boiled plantain and scrambled egg sauce. It is very satisfactory not having to spend money on food products at least for a day. Hehe
Ingredients:
Ripe plantain (optional as some prefer unripe due to sugar in the ripe one).
Eggs(I used six cause of my friends🤧).
Garlic(just for the flavor and probably health benefit).
Fresh tomato
Chili peppers
Salt to taste
Olive oil (you can use any oil of your choice with less fat).
Seasoning cubes(I used just two).
Onion
After boiling my plantain, I put it aside and went ahead to prepare my ingredients for the scrambled eggs.
Blend the tomato alongside the peppers.
Finely chop your onion and beat out your eggs into a plate and whisk till it's smooth then keep aside.
Place a clean dry pan on low heat and pour in your olive oil. When the oil is a little hot, add your chopped onion and fry to bring out it's nice flavor. After a few seconds of frying the onion, pour into the pan your blended tomato and pepper stir and leave to cook for a minute on low heat to get rid of any tangy taste before adding your seasoning cubes, a pinch of salt and garlic.
When it has cooked for a minute or two, pour in the egg and stir well to avoid the food getting burnt, leave for a while and stir again, do this from time to time and watch it take a nice form and look.
That's it, turn off heat and serve with the cooked plantain.
This is my minimalistic food for today, no stress or pressure.
happy me
