Ingredients

  • A bunch of green bananas or the amount required
  • Large saucepan with water

Instructions

  • Bring the pot with water to the boil then reduce to medium heat.
  • Place the green banana on a chopping board on its side.
  • Partially cut the top and end of the banana (not completely off) then score the banana length ways (shallow not deep) so it meets the top and end.
  • Repeat the above step with each banana
  • Carefully add the bananas to the pot of boiling water and cook until tender (this will take about 15- 20 minutes) (prick with a fork to determine its readiness.)
  • Once cooked allow the water to cool then drain
  • Use the top of the banana to remove the peel of each banana, it should come off very easy
  • Serve accordingly
