Banana Gratin RecipeOrigin: Zanzibar Period: Traditional |
Ingredients
4 green bananas 
Banana Gratin Preparation:Method:Peel the bananas and slice along the middle. Spice them to your taste... I usually use 1 tbsp black pepper and 2 tbsp piri-piri based curry powder along with 1 tbsp paprika. Allow the flavourings to soak in for about 10 minutes then fry the bananas until they are crisp and golden brown. Meanwhile fry the onions, garlic and crushed tomaotes for a few minutes before adding the tomato paste and basil. Then add the white wine and olive oil. Stir with a whisk and bring to a simmer. Continue cooking until the sauce has thickened. To arrange the dish, put the banana halves on a plate, pour the tomato-based sauce over the top and sprinkle the grated cheese over everything. Place under a grill and bake until the cheese has melted and begins to brown. Garnish with a sprig of basil and serve. |
