Chili, Egg and Banana Breakfast

If you’ve heard of the dish called arroz a la Cubana, this is a variation. Instead of rice, the ground meat stew, fried egg and bananas are served with flour tortillas. The meat stew is cooked spicy, chili style, and, in lieu of the traditional saba bananas, I used the lakatan (lacatan) variety — very ripe, very sweet and a very pretty yellow-orange.

And just where did the idea come from? From Golden West Cafe’s huevos montulenos which, whether the misspelling is intentional or not, seems to be an American adaptation of huevos motuleños, a breakfast dish from the Yucatan region of Mexico that “consists of fried eggs served on tortillas with refried black beans and a tomato-based sauce, which is often studded with ham, peas and plantains and then sprinkled with cheese.”

    Thanks Panyera. You gave me an idea what to do with all these ripening lakatan and latundan on top of my dining table. Fried bananas for me was only confined to the saba variety.

    So fried lakatan and latundan for breakfast tomorrow!

    Nikita, more like because it was the first meal of the day although we had it at 2.00 p.m. hehehehe

    Crisma, and here’s the plus of lakatan — I read somewhere that lakatan is richer in betacarotene than other banana varieties. :) Buti na lang cause I’m not a big fan of latundan. :-P
