Green Banana Curry

INGREDIENTS

5 green bananas
2 - 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
1 onion, finely sliced
1 tsp curry powder
1 can coconut milk
3 Tbsp chopped cilantro

DIRECTIONS

Slice the bananas into slices about 1-inch thick.

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the banana slices until lightly browned on each side; do them in batches if necessary. Drain on paper towel.

Still over medium heat, add the garlic, ginger, and onion to the pan and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the curry powder and stir well, then return the banana slices to the pan. Add about 2/3 of the coconut milk and stir well. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes.

Pour in the remaining coconut milk and simmer until the mixture thickens and the bananas break down a little. Garnish with cilantro and serve over rice.
