Peel the bananas and slice them length-wise.
2 Heat up 1/3 cup oil in a pan and fry the bananas until they’re golden brown. Drain them on a paper towel and set aside.
3 In another pan, heat a tablespoon of oil and fry the meat until it changes color. Season with the oregano, cumin, salt and pepper to taste.
4 In another pan, use the extra tablespoon oil to fry the sofrito with the tomato paste, the seasoning, and olives. Add the cooked meat and finish cooking. Fix the seasoning if you think it’s necessary. Set aside.
5 Preheat the oven to 350°F.

8 Then, add all of the meat.
9 Cover with another layer of fried ripe maduro.
10 Finish with the rest of the beaten egg.
