Curried Bananas Recipes Recipe For Stuffed

CURRIED BANANA SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the bananas, shallot, garlic, and onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in curry powder and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the chicken chicken broth and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Pour the curry mixture, rice vinegar, honey, and salt into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the curry moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the curry right in the cooking pot.

CURRIED FISH WITH BANANAS

Steps:

• Cut the fish fillets in half crosswise and slice the bananas into pieces that closely match size of the fish (see photo).
• Thoroughly combine the flour, 1 teaspoon of the curry powder, 1 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of black pepper and spread the mixture on a plate or sheet of wax paper.
• Lightly press the fish fillets into the flour mixture, shake off the excess and set aside in a single layer.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
• Once the butter melts, add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder, swirl the pan to coat and add the bananas, cut side down.
• Sauté the bananas until lightly caramelized, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes per side (don't overcook). Season with a pinch of salt and transfer to a serving platter.
• Return the pan to the stove, increase the heat slightly and add 2 more tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted, swirl the pan to coat.
• As soon as the butter starts to sizzle, add the fish fillets and cook for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes on the first side.
• Carefully turn the fillets over and continue cooking until the fish flakes easily, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes longer. Arrange the fish fillets on top of the plated bananas.
• Working quickly, add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan. Once the butter melts, add the grapefruit juice and heat until bubbly, about 1 minute.
• Spoon the pan sauce over the fish, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
