Samoan Green Banana

By: Goddess 
"This is a side dish most Polynesians love to eat with their main dish. Here in America, it's made with green bananas. Serve with Samoan palusami, teriyaki chicken, or steak. Enjoy!"

Ingredients

  • 3 (13.5 ounce) cans coconut milk
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 6 small unripe (green) bananas

Directions

  1. Combine the coconut milk and onion in a bowl; set aside.
