Cooking bananas?
In the local supermarket the other day I noticed something I've never
seen befo "Cooking bananas" is what they were called, and they were completely green bananas. I didn't get around to check the label, to find out if I would buy them or not, but before I do: do any of you have any cooking advice, or recipes using cooking bananas? Is there any difference between cooking bananas and ordinary bananas, other than ordinary bananas being more ripe?

What you saw were probably plantains. |

Sn!pe (Sheddie) When I was in Western Samoa a couple of years ago we had these at the resort. From what I can remember they were just ordinary underripe bananas which they threw into the underground oven. |

Butter two pieces of bread, make a sandwich like structure buttered side out (or butter both sides if you really want it fatty) with, I suppose, vegan margarine in this group. 2. Slather smoothe peanut butter liberally on both slices with a butter knife on the part of the bread that's going to be inside and put slices of ripe banana between them. 3. Grill it in a skillet to brown it on both sides like you would a grilled cheese sandwich. Flip it with a spatula. 4. Cut into desired shape (diagonal is good) and then enjoy. Warning: Too many of these could cause a heart attack or other bad health effects, eat at your own risk! -Rubystars |

The ever-wonderful MrFalafel posted a set of Elvis-style recipies a while back - certainly including fried peanut butter sandwiches, and possibly including the banana ones. -- Alex Pounds (Creature) .~.

Those are plantains. They're more starchy than bananas; they won't sweeten as they ripen, but they shouldn't be used while dark green. Wait until they turn yellow, then slice through the peel lengthwise on 2-3 sides. Cut the plaintains into about 1/2" slices and fry until browned. You can oven-fry them by coating the slices with a little oil and baking at medium-high heat until browned. They can also be cooked in curries or other dishes like you'd use potatoes. |

Knowing what they're called also helps me search for more recipes, should I need, and/or want to. -- Nikitta a.a. #1759 Apatriot(No, not apricot)#18 ICQ# 251532856 Unreferenced footnotes: http://www.nut.house.cx/cgi-bin/nemwiki.pl?ISFN "NTTNMESWT?"
