Ingredients

  • 2 hands of Green "Fig" bananas
  • 1 medium red onion - finely chopped
  • 1 - 1 ½ cup of frozen peas and carrots
  • 1 celery stalk
  • 2 pimentos
  • 1 stalk of chive
  • 5-6 heaping tbsp of mayo
  • 2 tbsp of Swiss honey mustard
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp white pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Score bananas,  cut off the tips and add to a large pot of boiling water and cover. You can also peel the bananas prior to adding to the boiling water.
  • In 15 minutes the skin would have turned brown and once you can easily poke with a fork, it's done.
  • Drain carefully and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • While the bananas are cooling, combine the mayo, honey mustard and dried aromatics & spices. Taste for salt at this point and adjust according to your taste.
  • Once the bananas have cooled, cut into small pieces and add fresh ingredients. Sprinkle some salt and toss.
  • Scrape sauce mixture into the bananas and fold in being careful not to mash the bananas. Once it's fully incorporated, taste for salt and add if necessary.
  • Set aside for at least an hour before serving and enjoy. Goes great with BBQ chicken.
