Ingredients
3 large green plantains
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon oil
½ onion, finely chopped
4 eggs, lightly beaten

Method
Peel the plantains and cut into chunks.
Cover with water in a saucepan. Add a little salt. Boil for 20–25 minutes until soft.
Drain and roughly mash with a fork. Leave some small pieces for texture.
Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan. Cook the onion until soft.
Add the beaten eggs. Stir gently until fully cooked.
Add the plantains and cheese. Mix over low heat. Add a little milk if too dry.
Season with salt and pepper. Add coriander if you like.
