HACK-HOW TO COOK (GREEN) BANANAS AS A VEGETABLE

Yes, you always purchase the yellow bananas but in case that you are not aware, green bananas are the same bananas that you buy in yellow, the difference is that, at that stage the green banana is somewhat consider a vegetable. For that reason, you must cook them before you eat them. It is simple and so delicious.
 
This is how to cook them, my easy way, since I have been cooking green bananas since I was a teenager. You can peel it and boil it in salted water. However, it is not easy to peel them. Therefore, I always rinse them, boil them with the peel on after I cut both ends, slice just the peel, (not deep into the banana) from top to bottom add then boil in salted water with few tbsps. of milk. The milk takes care of the brown film that the bananas release when cooked. Some people rub them with lemon juice. Depending on how large the bananas are, I boil them from 20 to 25 minutes, remove from the stove, drain and pull the peels off. Done.
