If you look across the world you will find many uses of bananas in cooking. There are lots and lots of different recipes containing bananas, different cultures use them in very unique ways. If you think of it you can kind of compare bananas to potatoes when it comes to different ways op preparing them across different cultures.
The first banana recipe that I will give you comes from Pennsylvania and is pretty old. You all know it or have heard of it – it is simply called banana split because the bananas are split in half and served with some ice cream and strawberry and chocolate sauce, and maybe some whipped cream.
In Brazil, you are sure to find a dessert of bananas mashed in with brown sugar, cinnamon or cloves and grated ginger. The mix up is brought to cook slowly over low heat as it thickens. It is left to cool then molded into a roll, sliced and then served.
Next we are moving to the Caribbean. Here they are making a dessert that includes frying the bananas in oil. The cut the bananas in pieces and first dip them in flour then in batter that is mixed with some rum for the flavor. After the bananas are fried they sprinkle them with some sugar and they are ready to be eaten. This recipe is called the banana fritters.
Next country that has some banana recipes to share and is big on bananas is India. They have quite a few recipes that include bananas so lets mention a few of them. I am sure that you have heard of Lassi, a traditional Indian drink. Of course there is a banana version of it that is called Sweet banana lassi and is made out of (no surprise) bananas and yogurt. Then there is a dessert called Panchamrutham that is made out of bananas, spices and honey and plenty of other recipes.
Next we are going into some of the countries that are also known for growing bananas. It is understandable that these countries have plenty of recipes that include bananas. Lets take a look at a few recipes from Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand. They use bananas in a wide range of recipes from adding them to salads, using them in curry dishes (this is very common) or adding them to different food including vegetables. Bananas go great with stews and meat.
So far we have eaten bananas raw, cooked and fried, now it is time to drink them. To do this we need to go to East Africa where they use them to brew beer! and if you are still not convinced how useful and widespread bananas are in cooking – of all the meals prepared with bananas only 80% are prepared with the fruit itself, all others use other parts of the banana plant, like leaves for instance.
Ben Cook uses ripe bananas in recipes on his banana bread website. If you are looking for a recipe for banana bread, his website is the right place to look. You can find many variations to the regular basic banana bread recipe like this healthy recipe for banana bread and many others.
