Ghanaian Sweet Potato and Plantain Hash

Ingredients

• 2 medium Sweet Potatoes
• 2 medium Plantains
• 1 medium Onion
• 1/2 medium Bell Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Curry Powder
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Peel the 2 medium sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Peel the 2 medium plantains and cut them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Peel and finely chop the 1 medium onion. Remove the seeds and membranes from the 1/2 medium bell pepper and cut it into 1/2-inch pieces.
2. 2Heat the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, which is 350°F (175°C).
3. 3Add the chopped 1 medium onion and the 1/2-inch pieces of bell pepper to the hot skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent and the bell pepper is slightly tender.
4. 4Add the cubed 2 medium sweet potatoes and the sliced 2 medium plantains to the skillet. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the plantains are lightly browned. The sweet potatoes should be easily pierced and the plantains should have some golden-brown spots.
5. 5Stir in the 1 teaspoon of ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
6. 6Add the 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir everything together to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the hash. Cook for 1 more minute.
7. 7Serve the Ghanaian Sweet Potato and Plantain Hash hot.
