You love a good hash.

Oh yes, you know you do! Well, you’re in luck, because I do too, as evidenced by the abundance of hash recipes on this website!  They are a nice easy and basic go-to meal that you can eat whenever you want.

I usually do them for breakfast but they work ’round the clock and have a little of everything you need. Once you make one hash recipe you can pretty much make 100 of them, which is awesome, although I realize that telling you this may not be awesome for my recipe posts since you now know my secret 😉 Make one, make 100. Well, I guess it’s sort of like the “teach a man to fish and you’ll feel him for life” thing. So now that I’ve fed you for life can you still please come back to my website anyway? I’ll teach you something else, promise. Or you can just make fun of me and laugh behind my back if that’s more entertaining. Whatever gets you here works for me 🙂

I made this spicy sweet plantain and beef breakfast hash after coming home from a long weekend, and I had two plantains that had been ripening while I was gone and wound up really ripe, nearly black. I love plantains and I can never wait long enough to allow them to ripen that much so I was pumped to see what I could do with these really sweet ones. And I did great things, that’s for sure. Here it is!

Ingredients

  • 1 small-med yellow/black plantain or 1/2 of a larger one
  • 2 tbsp ghee
  • 1/4 lb ground beef
  • 1/4 tsp chipotle chili powder or more if you like spicy
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder - omit for low FODMAP
  • Generous dash of salt
  • Handful of baby spinach chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt and pepper if desired for eggs

Instructions

  1. First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Cut off the ends of your plantain and score 2 sides of the skin, carefully remove the peel.
  3. Chop the plantain into 1/2 inch chunks - these will be soft and wont keep shape while cooking so don't worry too much about size.
  4. Heat a small-med oven proof skillet over med to med-high heat and add the ghee. Once the ghee melts and the pan is hot, add the plantains and stir to coat. Continue to cook and stir the plantains until they begin to caramelize a light brown color, a minute or so.
  5. When the plantains are soft and starting to caramelize, add the ground beef plus all the seasonings and big dash of salt. Cook while stirring to break up lumps until brown, stir together with the plantains.
  6. When the beef is no longer pink and the plantains are nice and caramelized, add the chopped spinach and toss with the plantain beef mixture.
  7. Crack each egg carefully over the top of the hash in two different spots. Add a little extra salt and pepper to the eggs if you wish. Place the skillet in the preheated oven on the top rack and bake until the eggs are cooked to preference, for me this was just over 5 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven, transfer to a plate and dig in! This makes one large serving, or two smaller ones.

    Looks good! I haven’t really though to use ground beef for breakfast recipes- that would be a good way to change things up!

      I had some that I hadn’t used for burgers the night before and it worked out well, any ground meat is great for breakfast since it cooks so fast 🙂
