put tomato mixture in smaller pot, add basil, cumin, salt and simmer on back burner of your stovetop
peel and cut the plantains into 1-inch pieces and boil in the tomato water until very tender
once they are cooked, use a fork to mash them
if they are too dry add some of the tomato water
flatten out the plantains on a baking pan. Try to flatten to the edges of the pan in order to have a square plantain cake
bake in the oven on 400 degrees for 25 min
sauté onion in a spray of olive oil--again if this gets too dry add some of the tomato water
when the plantains are finished baking, cut into pieces about the shape of a bread pan
you should have three or four pieces
pour a small amount of tomato sauce in the bread pan, then a layer of plantain, sauce, then a layer of eggplant, sauce, layer of plantain, sauce, Layer of onion, sauce, layer of plantain, sauce
lower oven temperature to 325 degrees and bake for 30 min
