My last Samoan dish: Tina and Amazing's Green Island Salad
It is a salad that combines fruit, vegetable (watercress, cucumber) & starch (green banana). I, however, kept all the ingredients separate so that fussy people could mix and match as they wished in their plates. I used mango and pineapple instead of vi (which I'd never heard of) and guava (which I didn't have). Very nice, as I knew it would be!

CSeydel This looks amazing, I‘ll have to try it! We have guavas growing in our backyard. 1mo
Dilara @CSeydel That's fantastic! I am slightly envious... Please post about it if you do make it 😋 1mo
CSeydel Does it really work to boil the bananas and then grill them? I feel like they‘d fall apart 1mo
Dilara @CSeydel It works with “cooking bananas“, ie the green variety (which is different from unripe dessert bananas) and plantains. You can boil them in their skins for 10-15 minutes, let them cool down, and then remove their skins, and slice them (I cut them in half crosswise first, and then lengthwise). It was a bit fiddly, but doable. 😁 1mo
CSeydel 👍 1mo
