Приготовление

Шаг за шагом

  1. 1

    Heat the palm oil in a large saucepan or pot over medium heat until it melts completely.

    Около 2 мин

    Совет повара: Using palm oil is key for the authentic color and flavor, but vegetable oil can be substituted if needed.

  2. 2

    Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.

    Около 4 мин

  3. 3

    Stir in the chopped tomatoes, red bell pepper, and scotch bonnet pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.

    Около 5 мин

  4. 4

    Add the chopped garden eggs and the crumbled vegetable bouillon cube to the pot.

    Около 1 мин

  5. 5

    Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the garden eggs are very tender.

    Около 10 мин

    Совет повара: Stir once or twice during simmering to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

  6. 6

    Uncover the pot and use a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon to crush the garden eggs directly in the pot to a coarse, pulpy consistency.

    Около 1 мин

    Совет повара: Mash to your preferred texture; some like it chunkier, while others prefer it smoother.

  7. 7

    Stir in the salt and optional black pepper. Continue to simmer uncovered for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to fully combine.

    Около 2 мин

  8. 8

    Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve warm with your choice of side.
