BANANA CURRY (BERMUDA, CARIBBEAN)

Steps:

• Melt butter in a lrg saucepan. Add onion & saute gently over low-heat till softened & translucent, but not carmelized.
• Soak the raisins in a sml amt of hot water for 2-3 min to plump them. Drain & add to the onion mixture w/the apple & salt. Stir in the flour + curry powder & cook for 3-4 min, stirring.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat & gradually stir in the coconut milk & water a little at a time. Return to the heat & cook gently, stirring till thickened.
• Add bananas & continue cooking gently over low heat for about 6-7 minutes. Add the eggs to the curry, just to heat through. Serve immediately w/boiled rice & a sml dish of mango chutney.
• *Note Re Servings* ~ I entered this recipe as a 6 serving side-dish per its intent, but it seems likely 4 servings would be more realistic if served as a main-course.

SPICY BANANA CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the sunflower oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onions, and cook until the onions have softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, salt, sugar, ginger, chili powder, cinnamon, and black pepper. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the curry paste and pressed garlic. Cook for about 1 minute. Pour in the tomato sauce and yogurt, and bring to a simmer. Stir in the diced banana, and simmer gently for 3 minutes. Mix in chopped tomatoes, and continuing to simmer 1 minute more. Stir in the coconut flakes just before serving.

CHICKEN WITH BANANA CURRY SAUCE - CARIBBEAN

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450°. In a food processor or blender, puree the bananas, curry powder, coriander, dry mustard, butter, lime zest, lime juice, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of the water.
• Make a few deep cuts in each chicken breast and put the breasts in a roasting pan. Pour the curry sauce over the chicken, making sure the sauce gets into the cuts. Roast in the bottom third of the oven until the chicken is just done, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the roasting pan from the oven and remove the chicken breasts from the pan. There should be plenty of thick sauce in the bottom of the pan. Set the pan over moderate heat and whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup water. Continue to whisk until the sauce is heated through, adding more water if you want a thinner sauce. Serve the chicken breasts with the sauce over them. Sprinkle with parsley if you like.
• Serve with steamed rice.

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the chicken and brown well on all sides, then transfer to a plate. Add the onions and peppers to the pan, and cook for 5 mins until the veg starts to soften. Return the chicken to the pan and sprinkle in the curry powder, then add the pineapple with its juice, and the coconut milk. Season and simmer, uncovered, for 40 mins until the chicken is tender and the sauce has reduced and thickened a little.
• Add the beans and pepper sauce to the pan. Simmer for another 2-3 mins until the beans are warmed through, then scatter with coriander and serve with cooked rice.
