Dairy-Free Cuban Breakfast Bowl with Black Beans and Plantains

Ingredients

• 4 cups Cooked White Rice
• 2 cups Black Beans, canned
• 2 large Plantains, ripe
• 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 8 servings Vegan Eggs (e.g., Just Egg)
• to taste Hot Sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. 1In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil over medium heat (approximately 300-325°F / 150-160°C). Add the 1 medium Onion, chopped, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened and turned translucent. Stir in the 4 cloves Garlic, minced, 1 teaspoon Cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon Oregano, and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
2. 2Add the 2 cups Black Beans, canned, 1 teaspoon Salt, and 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Continue to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through and the liquid has slightly thickened. Remove the skillet from the heat.
3. 3Peel the 2 large Plantains, ripe, and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. In a separate 10-inch skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil over medium heat (approximately 300-325°F / 150-160°C). Place the plantain slices in a single layer and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and caramelized. Remove the cooked plantains from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
4. 4Heat a clean non-stick skillet over medium heat (approximately 300-325°F / 150-160°C). Pour or scoop the 8 servings Vegan Eggs into the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the vegan eggs are set and lightly golden brown.
5. 5Divide the 4 cups Cooked White Rice evenly among four serving bowls. Top each bowl with a portion of the prepared black beans, the fried plantain slices, and the cooked vegan eggs. Drizzle with Hot Sauce, to taste, if desired, and serve immediately.
