Spinach Egg Stew, Roasted Plantain & Sweet Potatoes, Sauteed Cabbage

>Spinach, Tomato & Onion Egg Scramble
>Roasted Plantain
>Roasted Sweet Potato
>Sauteed Cabbage

This is my ALL-Time favorite meal as a child (and probably still, because I haven't figured out what else I like more). The only problem with this meal to me, is that I love it so much I eat way too much of it.

Actually this is an adaptation of my favorite meal.

The original version is Fried plantains, Fried 'Irish' potatoes, Fresh Tomato & Onion Egg Stew.

I have made this healthier (and easier to prepare) by roasting instead of frying, a taste which I have come to love so much more than deep-fried, so it's all good! I have also added loads of spinach to the Tomato, Onion and Egg goodness, which helps pack so much more nutrients and flavor to an already amazing meal.

Fast, Easy, Healthy, Cheap AND Tasty. Geez, can I really have it all?

To prepare:

• Peel Plantains, place in ungreased baking pan, and throw into 450-500 degree oven.
• Put in Sweet Potatoes whole and unpeeled (you can peel after it's cooked, or even eat with skin if you like).
• Sautee Cabbage with a dash of olive oil, black, pepper, and salt
• Throw some vegetable oil in a pan to heat up, caramelize onions, throw in diced tomatoes, let cook until a lot of the water is absorbed, season with salt and your favorite spices and herbs (I used curry powder, thyme and black pepper), whip eggs and pour into mixture, stirring as it cooks, add chopped spinach soon after, once eggs are cooked, it's ready!

Notes:
You can find plantains at some regular grocery stores, or look in Latin Food or African food stores (that's where I get them)

Make it vegan, by using Scrambled Tofu instead of eggs.

Oven-Baked Tofu Scramble

I love gas-powered cooking ranges. I love my oven. I love cast iron pans.

I swear with the combination of these two things, I can't go wrong with meals I make. They are a magic team.

On days when I am lazy, or busy, or making a lot of things at once (like brunch or dinner parties), my oven and cast iron pans are my best friends.

Almost like a crock pot. You can just toss everything in, turn over to anywhere between 350-450 degrees, depending on what you're cooking. Check back in 15 min-1hr later and your meal is ready.

I usually make tofu scrambles over a stove top, but sometimes I remember I can just toss it in the oven to create effortless magic. The good thing about this is that it also saves it from becoming to mashed up (unless that's what you want. I sometimes do).

For this
Cube some Extra Firm Tofu
Chop some Bell pepper, onions (and other veggies you like)
Add oil, salt, peppers, and other spices and herbs you like
Throw into oven at 400 degrees

Cook for about 30 mins, check and turn over, cook for longer if you want browner.
Ready!
