Receita De Moqueca De Banana Da Terra

Moqueca de banana da terra is a classic dish from Brazil that is typically made with fish or shrimp. However, for those who follow a vegan diet or simply want to try a unique twist on this traditional dish, the recipe can be adapted to include banana da terra - a type of banana that is commonly found in Brazil.

Ingredients:

Bananas
  • 4 banana da terra (green bananas)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 can of coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil
  • 1 tsp of paprika
  • 1 tsp of cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Note: Make sure to use green bananas for this recipe, as they are less sweet and starchier than ripe bananas, which are better suited for sweet dishes like desserts.

Instructions:

Step 1: Prep the ingredients

Start by peeling the bananas and cutting them into thick slices. You can also sprinkle them with a bit of lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.

Next, dice the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the bell pepper. Also, dice the tomatoes and set them aside for later.

Step 2: Sauté the veggies

In a large pot, heat up the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté them until they are translucent. Then, add the garlic and the bell pepper and continue to sauté for another minute or so.

Step 3: Add the spices and tomatoes

Add the paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper to the pot and stir well. Then, add the diced tomatoes and stir again.

Step 4: Add the bananas and coconut milk

Next, add the sliced bananas to the pot and carefully pour in the can of coconut milk. Stir everything together gently, making sure not to break up the bananas too much.

Step 5: Simmer and serve

Let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until the bananas are tender and the flavors have had a chance to meld together. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Once everything is cooked through, serve the moqueca de banana da terra hot with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top. This dish pairs well with rice and/or a good crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.
