Transform leftover feijoada into a hearty and flavorful breakfast hash. Combined with potatoes, onions, peppers, and spices, then topped with crispy fried plantains and a perfectly poached egg for a protein-packed start to the day.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Add diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the leftover feijoada and mix well with the potatoes and vegetables. Cook until heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste.
While the hash is cooking, heat vegetable oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the plantain slices in batches until golden brown and caramelized, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Poach the eggs: Fill a medium saucepan with about 3 inches of water and bring to a simmer. Add vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slip it into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Divide the feijoada hash among four plates. Top each serving with a poached egg and fried plantains. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
Nutrition per serving (450g)
If your feijoada is very thick, you may need to add a little water or broth to the hash to moisten it.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spiciness.
For easier poaching, use very fresh eggs. The whites will hold their shape better.
If you don't have plantains, you can substitute sweet potatoes or regular potatoes.
If you want a quicker meal, use frozen diced potatoes.
