When I came across the recipe of Lee Cox I new I wanted to make a chutney. In his recipe he used allspice and I replaced it by the cloves. I also used red onions because they are a bit sweeter. I liked the sweetness of the banana & red onion together with the distinct flavor of the clove. Although I used a tablespoon, which in my opinion is a lot, it worked for me as a combination. Together with the yoghurt it was a great starter. I can imagine with some rice you can also turn this into a main course.

TGRWT history:
TGRWT #1 – #10
TGRWT #11 hosted by Martin banana & cloves

Of course I have tried to create a dish for TGRWT #2. After some thought I figured out I wanted to make a lasagne. In a recipe from Infonu.nl I saw somebody who used banana & parsley in it’s lasagne. So that convinced me to make a lasagne with banana & parsley.

Ingrediënts (2 persons)
6 sheets of lasagne verdi
2 bananas
3 tomatoes
2 branches of curled parsley
50 gram of butter
30 gram of flower
3 dl of milk
30 gram of Parmigiano Reggiano

First of all chop up the bananas, tomatoes and parsley. Preheat the oven on 225 degrees. Grease a ovenproof dish with some butter. After that I created a béchamel sauce with the butter, flower and milk. After adding some Parmigiano Reggiano it turned into a Mornay sauce. First spread a part of the banana mixture out evenly. Cover this with some sheets of the lasagne verdi. Repeat this procedure and finally cover it with the Mornay sauce. Place it in the middle of the preheated oven and cook it for about 30 minutes until the top has turned golden brown as in the picture below.

The dish was quite nice. Although I used tomatoes and a mornay sauce I found it suprisingly sweet. The flavour of the bananas dominated in this dish. Only a few times I tasted a bit of parsley. This herb added some contrast to the dish, making it less sweet. Next time I will use less bananas and more curled parsley or maybe flat parsley.

Ingrediënten (2 personen)
4 mandarijnen
halve citroen
1 el vloeibare boter
2 el rietsuiker
1 zakje vanillesuiker
2 bananen
4 el Griekse yoghurt

Pers 3 mandarijnen en de halve citroen uit met een citruspers. Doe het sap in een pannetje met de suikers en de vloeibare boter. Breng dit aan de kook en blijf roeren tot de suiker is opgelost. Laat het een beetje inkoken. Snij ondertussen de bananen in grote plakken en pel de laatste mandarijn. Voeg de mandarijn en banaan toe aan het pannetje en laat het nog een paar minuten mee verwarmen. Geserveerd in een schaaltje met Griekse yoghurt is dit erg lekker.
