Ingredients

  • 2 cup Dried green split peas, pre-soaked
  • 4 x Ripe bananas
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbl Palm oil, or other cooking-oil
  • 1 sm Onion, thinly sliced

Directions

1

Cook the peas in enough water to cover until tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

2

Peel bananas and lay them whole on top of the peas without mixing.

3

Continue to cook for 10 minutes until bananas are soft, adding a bit of water if necessary to prevent peas from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

4

Meanwhile, heat the palm oil in a skillet or pot large enough to hold the peas and bananas. Brown the onions. Then with a slotted spoon, remove bananas and peas from the first pot and add to the onions.

5

Sprinkle in the salt and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring gently but constantly, until oil has been absorbed. Serve hot.
