Yum! I came looking for a non-dessert banana recipe, and I found a novelty and a staple! I followed John Wenzelburger's suggestions for adding the fruit later, and I doubled the almonds because I like crunchy bits. The meat and sweet combination is very pleasant, not at all overly sweet. I only used 2 tsp of sugar, and I'll probably omit it entirely in the future. I didn't need any tomato juice for thinning. The consistency is that of chili, and the whole effect is further improved by serving over brown rice. -
It did not look like much but was very very good. I cut down on the curry powder but I should have used the full amount. I put the apples in with about 15 min to go and the bananas in with about 5 to go. I also only used one onion. Try it you will like it.
