Fruits A B C E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Green Banana Gratin Categories: Fruits
Yield: 4 servings
3 lb Green bananas Salt
2 c Chicken Stock Ground Nutmeg
2 tb Butter 1 pn Cinnamon
1 Small Onion, chopped 1 c Grated Cheddar Cheese
1 c Light cream or milk 1/2 c Fresh Bread Crumbs
2 Eggs, beaten
Grated Gruyere cheese can be used instead of cheddar cheese. Place bananas
in saucepan and add just enough chicken stock to cover. Bring to a boil,
reduce heat and simmer until bananas are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Using a potato masher, mash until smooth (chicken stock will be absorbed).
Let cool slightly. Meanwhile, heat butter in a small frypan and saute
onions until tender. Add the onions, cream, beaten eggs to cooked bananas
until combined; season with salt, nutmeg and cinnamon to taste. Mixture
will be quite moist. Place banana mixture in a buttered shallow baking
dish. Combine cheese with bread crumbs; sprinkle over top. Bake at 350 for
35 - 40 minutes or until top is golden. Serves 4 - 6. From The Gazette,
