Instructions

  1. Peel the green bananas, cut them into slices and boil them for 15 minutes in salted water until tender.
  2. Drain them, keeping a little of the cooking water, then mash them with a pestle or potato masher with a splash of coconut milk to get a smooth, supple paste.
  3. In a saucepan, fry the sliced onion and garlic in the oil until golden, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes, the tomato paste, the thyme and the whole pepper pricked with a knife. Let it simmer for 10 minutes over medium heat.
  5. Pour in the rest of the coconut milk, season with salt and pepper, then add the fish pieces. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes without stirring too vigorously.
  6. Shape the green banana mash into balls, place them in deep plates and pour over the fish sauce, topped with chopped coriander.

Variations and tips

Vegetarian version. Replace the fish with cooked red beans, added to the sauce with a little soy sauce.

With what you can find here. Green plantains are sold in most African or Caribbean grocery stores; if you can't find them, use potatoes.
