Green Banana Nut Cutlets – Vegan & Free-From

Green Banana Nut Cutlets – Vegan & Free-From

Stay there… don’t run away! πŸ˜› This recipe intrigued me when I first heard about it from Zeba @FoodfortheSoul πŸ™‚ So I went out and sourced green bananas! Not plaintains- actual green bananas!!! If you’ve never had green bananas they are sticky! They are impossible to peel and they are rock solid! However, let that not put you off – once peeled (I used a vegetable peeler)! and cooked, they transform into something wonderful!

These are crunchy, slightly spicy, delicious morsels of … deliciousness! πŸ˜€ Pair them with a cooling minty yogurt dressing (I used coyo vegan yogurt) and you’re good to go! πŸ™‚ Apparently green bananas are used frequently in numerous cuisines around the world, not least by my best friends family in Bangladesh… well I never! I didn’t know that!!! πŸ˜€ Green banana curry is apparently delicious and hopefully I’ll get around to making that soon!

        That’s so nice of him… Haha :). I hope you can now cook them with the peel on so it will be easier. Sorry for omitting that in the original.

      They are indeed yummy – I’m going to make some more for the freezer so I always have some on hand! Ooo for roasting green bananas πŸ™‚ I wish I’d thought of that! I roasted some butternut squash, potatoes and other veg for our girls lunch today πŸ™‚ Do you roast it just the same as you would roast anything else?

    Yes you can and you not have to fight the peel πŸ˜‰

      Oh and please do remove the peel before mixing and mashing – otherwise it really would change the taste for the worse πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

        πŸ˜€ I surely will… if I’d known I could cook them in their skins then I probably would have made about 5 batches of these already! πŸ˜› Thanks again!

    Hi! I’ve never tried green bananas! Nor have I tried any banana dish that’s savory. So interesting! Thank you for sharing πŸ™‚

      I hadn’t either! Green bananas are so different to regular bananas and contain loads of nutrients! It just intrigued me and these are so delicious – almost falafel like! πŸ˜€ Thanks for reading πŸ™‚
