Bananas in soup? Yes! I'm not familiar with Tanzanian cuisine, but I've enjoyed plantains (which are similar to bananas) in Latin American or Caribbean dishes. They provide just a little sweetness and creaminess that provides a nice contrast to the intense heat. That's the role the bananas play here. And it definitely works!
Interesting...Well I would give it a shot! I love plantains and I am part mexican & puerto rican :) I would probably like it!
ReplyDeleteBananas in a soup? That is very interesting! I kind of like that idea. I bet it add a nice richness to the dish.
