Steamed Rice and Fried Beef Plantain Stuffed in Red Bell Pepper

During my pregnancy, I organized my baby shower with the assistance of my siblings and friends. My husband wanted us to contract a caterer that would cook, but I refused because I detest wasting money on tasteless food. I decided to cook the meals myself. Hubby and siblings felt I was insane because I was 38 weeks pregnant and I was going to cook for 50 people. The shower was a success and it was absolutely amazing. Thank you.

Anyway the reason for this long story is because my sister made this amazing fried gizzard plantain. I don't know how she came up with the idea, but my sister, Chioma, did an amazing job. She served it with jellof rice and stewed assorted meat. To tell you how perfect the food was, all my guest wanted to take second rounds. Here are the items you will need:

• 2 ripe plantain (diced)
• 1 red bell pepper (1/2 diced)
• 3 roma tomatoes
• 3 garlic
• 1/2 yellow bell pepper
• 1/2 orange bell pepper
• 1/4 onion bulb (diced)
• 1/2 lbs of beef (diced)
• 2 cubes knorr
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 11/2 cup rice
• Peanut oil (for frying the plantain)
• 2 tbsp olive oil

1. Wash the rice and put it in the rice cooker.  Dice the beef, season and boil.
2. Cut the red bell pepper into half, dice one-half of the red bell pepper. Also dice the yellow and orange bell pepper. Mix all bell pepper in a bowl and set aside. Dice the red onions and also set aside. wash the tomatoes and garlic and blend until smooth. 
3. Cook the tomatoes until the water dries up. While the tomatoes is cooking, fry the diced plantain. When the beef is properly cooked, fry it and also set it aside
4. In a small sauce pan, add olive oil  then fry the already boiled tomatoes for 7 minutes. Add the pepper and knorr  then cook for another 1 minute. now add the fried plantain, bell pepper, onion and fried beef. Cook for 2 minutes.
5. Scoop the plantain sauce and stuff it into other half of the red bell pepper. Serve with a side of steamed rice and a glass of red wine.
