SPINACH AND GREEN BANANAS
2 pounds green bananas
3 pounds spinach
4 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
3 scallions, minced
1 Habanero chile, pricked with a fork
Peel bananas by cutting off both ends with a sharp knife. Slit banana skin lengthwise down to the flesh in three or four spots. Be careful not to cut too deeply. Then, lift skin with dull edge of a knife until banana is completely peeled. Finish off by scraping away any green fibers still on the flesh.
Cut bananas in rounds and simmer in water to cover for 30 minutes.
Add spinach, garlic, lemon juice, scallions and chile, lower heat, and continue to cook for 10 minutes. Remove chile. Serve hot
Makes 4 servings
