Yesterday I made a delicious banana flower curry that I'm now obsessed with, and while removing a layer of petals I noticed the immature bananas. I didn't want to ruin the flavor that everyone said was bitter and so I took a quick bite of one of the little gangly things - it tasted like a cross between a green bean and a green banana peel. Wanting to utilize everything, I noticed a lot of them looked like little fish and a few had little cute pockets on them so I decided to half-dehydrate some. The recipe is so simple that you'll have fresh little "fish" within the hour or so.
(Raw Vegan Sardines Ingredients)
- 1/4 Cup of Immature Bananas
- 4 tbl of Cold-Pressed Olive Oil
- 1 tsp of Minced Parsley
- 1/4 tsp of Minced Garlic
- A heavy pinch of Sea Salt
(Directions)
- Toss all of the ingredients together and place into an oven at about 180 degrees (about 300 if non-raw) and then wait until you've smelled the garlic and olive oil permeating the air.
- Take out, taste and tell me what you think!
- Enjoy!
I hope that you enjoyed this little tidbit!
Sardines and banana? Interesting. If I can find sardines, I can make it. I love sardines!
ReplyDeleteHaha - no real animal products in here, Marina. ^^ All you need is the little "stems" from a banana flower/cone - you should be able to find some in any Asian store.
DeleteOh, I'll have to save this one for my sister who loves sardines.
