Classic Havana Frittata

This classic Havana frittata is a vibrant vegetarian dish that brings a touch of Caribbean sunshine to your kitchen. The recipe relies on the delightful contrast between sweet, caramelised plantain and earthy, golden-brown potatoes, all bound together in a rich, creamy egg base. Fragrant sweet paprika adds a subtle warmth that complements the savoury fried onions, creating a satisfying texture that is both soft and crisp in all the right places.

Perfect for a weekend brunch or a light midweek supper, this iron-rich meal is incredibly versatile. It works just as well served warm from the frying pan as it does cold the next day in a lunchbox. For a balanced meal, pair a generous wedge with a crisp, bitter leaf salad or a spoonful of zesty tomato salsa to cut through the richness of the double cream.

Ingredients for Classic Havana Frittata

  • 1 large ripe plantain, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • 1 medium baking potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • Canola oil

  • 8 large eggs

  • 120ml double cream

  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 45ml olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 large yellow onion, diced

How to make Classic Havana Frittata

  1. Deep-fry the plantain and potato separately in the canola oil until golden brown.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and double cream; add the paprika, salt, and pepper.

  3. Place the olive oil and butter in a 10-inch sauté pan with an ovenproof handle over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, add the onion and sauté until brown.

  4. Add the plantain and potato to the egg mixture, then pour it into the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, scraping the pan regularly so the bottom sets.

  5. Place under a grill until golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Serve with a simple mesclun salad (optional).
