Ingredients for Bananas Simmered In Jasmine Scented Coconut Milk

  • 4 ripe but firm bananas
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Sea Salt
  • Jasmine Essence

How to Make Bananas Simmered In Jasmine Scented Coconut Milk

  1. Peel 4 ripe but firm bananas just before cooking.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk over medium heat.
  3. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or to taste) and a pinch of salt (about 1/4 teaspoon). The salt enhances the richness of the coconut milk.
  4. If desired, stir in 5-7 drops of jasmine extract or mali essence for a delicate floral aroma.
  5. Once the coconut milk is hot and smooth, gently add the peeled bananas.
  6. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the bananas are tender but still hold their shape. Do not overcook!
  7. Remove from heat and serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes or a sprinkle of chopped pistachios (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
