About

This dish is a mixture of vegetables seasoned and cooked mildly. I chose green banana for this recipe because it holds its shape well after cooking. If you can’t find green bananas, you can substitute white or yellow sweet potatoes.

Ingredients

5 green bananas

Method

Peel the bananas, then boil them in salted water for about 25 minutes, until just tender when pricked with a fork. Drain and slice into rounds 2 inches (5 cm) thick.
Meanwhile, sprinkle the salt over the squash and zucchini and let stand for 10 minutes. Lightly rinse the squash and zucchini and pat dry.
