Ingredients

2, sliced (250g) Plantain — Use them yellow-black. Green plantain is a starch to be boiled; ripe plantain caramelises, which is the whole point here.
3 eggs (150g) Eggs — The protein against a plate that is otherwise entirely carbohydrate.
1, sliced (80g) Bell Pepper — Cooked in the same pan after the plantain, picking up the sugars left behind.
1/2, sliced (60g) Onion — With the pepper. Sweetness on sweetness, but it works because the eggs are savoury.
1 tbsp (15g) Coconut Oil — High smoke point and the regionally correct fat. Any neutral oil does the job.
