Postup

Krok za krokom

1
Heat the palm oil in a large saucepan or pot over medium heat until it melts completely.
Približne 2 min
Poznámka kuchára: Using palm oil is key for the authentic color and flavor, but vegetable oil can be substituted if needed.
2
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
Približne 4 min
3
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, red bell pepper, and scotch bonnet pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.
Približne 5 min
4
Add the chopped garden eggs and the crumbled vegetable bouillon cube to the pot.
Približne 1 min
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.
Približne 10 min
Poznámka kuchára: Stir once or twice during simmering to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
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.
Približne 1 min
Poznámka kuchára: Mash to your preferred texture; some like it chunkier, while others prefer it smoother.
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.
Približne 2 min
8
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve warm with your choice of side.
