Boil a pot of water seasoned with salt.

Add the fish to the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.

Remove the fish and leave it to drain in a colander.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan until warm.

Add annatto seeds to the oil and cook for 5-6 minutes until the oil turns yellow.

Add chopped bell peppers, onions, and garlic to the pan; cook for about 10 minutes, seasoning with salt, black pepper, and brown cumin.

Add the cooked fish to the pan and cook for 20-25 minutes at medium temperature until all the liquid has cooked out.

Turn off the heat and add chopped parsley and cilantro; mix and leave to cool down.

Peel and chop previously cooked potatoes (cooked in the microwave for 10 minutes).

Chop feta cheese and plantain.

Combine all the ingredients into a large bowl and mix well.

Add eggs to the mixture and stir to combine.

Transfer the mixture into a well-buttered muffin tray for easier serving as finger food.

Bake in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 20-25 minutes if using a muffin tray, or 35-40 minutes if making a single tortilla.

Once done, place on a cooling rack; can be eaten hot or cold, preferably at room temperature or slightly warm.
