Servings
4 people

Ingredients
4 ripe plantains, sliced evenly

2–3 tbsp dendê oil (palm oil), divided

1 medium onion, sliced into rings

1 green bell pepper, cut into strips

2 tomatoes, sliced

1 chili pepper, chopped (optional, to taste)

3 whole eggs

2 tbsp chopped scallions

Juice of ½ lemon

Salt, to taste

Instructions
1. Prepare the Plantains
Peel and slice the ripe plantains into even rounds. Set aside.

2. Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat 1–2 tbsp dendê oil over medium heat.

Add the onion rings and sauté until soft, golden, and fragrant.

Add the green bell pepper strips and tomato slices. Spread them evenly in the pan.

Sprinkle with chili pepper (if using) and salt to taste.

Gently stir to blend the flavors without breaking the vegetables.

3. Add the Plantains
Arrange the plantain slices gently on top of the vegetables.

Lightly stir so the plantains soak up the flavors, keeping the slices intact.

4. Cook the Eggs
Crack the eggs directly over the plantain mixture.

Sprinkle with chopped scallions.

Lower the heat to the minimum, cover the skillet, and cook for 5 minutes without stirring.

5. Finish the Moqueca
Drizzle with the juice of ½ lemon.

Add the remaining dendê oil to intensify flavor.

Cover again and cook for another 3 minutes.

Serving
Serve directly in the skillet for a rustic presentation. This dish is colorful, aromatic, and perfect for sharing with family or friends.
