Description

This is a side dish most Polynesians love to eat with their main dish. Here in America, it’s made with green bananas. Serve with Samoan palusami, teriyaki chicken, or steak. Enjoy!

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  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.
