  • 1 can (14.5 ounce) tomatoes (diced)
  • 1 yellow onion (sliced)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon granulate sugar
  • Salt (to taste)
  • 4 large eggs (hard-cooked sliced)
  • 2 bananas (sliced)
  • 2 teaspoon oil (vegetable oil)
  • 1/2 pound potatoes (cooked sliced)

  • 3 carrots (cooked sliced)
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 2 cups chicken broth (or 2 cups vegetable broth)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a skillet, heat the oil and saute the banana slices until they are golden brown. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

  • Step 2: In the same pan, saute the bread cubes until they are golden brown. Drain on paper towels and set aside. The amount of oil is light so if some cubes don't brown, that's ok. Toasted cubes are ok as well.

  • Step 3: In a food processor or blender, puree the tomatoes, onion, garlic clove, sugar and salt.

  • Step 4: In a dutch oven, layer the bottom with the bread cubes. Pour half of the tomato mixture over the bread cubes.

  • Step 5: On top of this, add a layer of eggs, a layer of the fried bananas, a layer of the potatoes, a layer of olives, a layer of carrots and finishing with a layer of raisins.

  • Step 6: Cover with the remaining sauce. Pour the chicken broth over the mixture in the dutch oven. Do not mix.

  • Step 7: Bring the dutch oven to a simmer and cover. Cook until all of the liquid has been absorbed (about 10-15 minutes)
