Instructions

1. Prepare Plantains

   Peel the green plantains and slice them lengthwise into ¼‑inch thick ribbons. Lay them on a plate and press gently with another plate to flatten.

   Time: PT5M

2. First Fry of Plantains

   Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the plantain slices 3 minutes on each side until lightly golden.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: Medium heat

3. Second Fry for Crispness

   Remove the plantains, press them again to ensure flatness, then return to the skillet and fry another 3‑4 minutes per side for extra crispness.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: Medium heat

4. Sauté Vegetables

   In the same skillet add a splash more oil if needed. Sauté the chopped onion, diced sweet red pepper, minced garlic, diced scotch bonnet (seeds removed for milder heat), and shredded cabbage until softened, about 5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium heat

5. Prepare Corned Beef Mixture

   Open the canned corned beef, crumble it into a mixing bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in ketchup and water until the mixture is loose but not watery.

6. Combine Beef with Veggies

   Add half of the mashed corned beef mixture to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and let the flavors meld for 2 minutes.

   Temperature: Medium heat

7. Preheat Oven

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 375°F

8. Assemble Lasagna

   In a greased baking dish, layer fried plantains, then spread a layer of the corned‑beef‑cabbage mixture, sprinkle with shredded cheddar. Repeat with another plantain layer, remaining beef mixture, and finish with a generous top layer of cheddar cheese.

   Time: PT5M

9. Bake

   Place the assembled dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
