12/19: Samoan Dinner - Samoan Green Banana

from recipe @ http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Samoan-Green-Banana/Detail.aspx

Ingredients

  • 3 (13.5 ounce) cans coconut milk
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 6 small unripe (green) bananas

Directions

  1. Combine the coconut milk and onion in a bowl; set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Boil the bananas in their skin for 30 to 40 minutes; drain. Run the bananas under cold water until they are cool enough to handle. Remove the bananas whole from their skins.
  3. Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Place the bananas in the pan. Pour the coconut milk mixture over the bananas. Cook until the coconut milk is foamy. Allow to cool 5 minutes before serving.
My experience:
  • added 2 tbsp of sugar to it as i though it would taste better
Result:
  • pretty good...very similar to eating taro. its texture is very similar...not mushy as i expected
  • good side dish to a meat dish
  • feel the fattiness of the coconut milk
  • not many people liked it...think they just can't get over eating unripe bananas...
  • should be how plantains taste
