Divine Banana Mash: A Taste of Moukhbaza Heaven


Category: Side Dish - (823)
Origin: Sudan
Source: Fatima


Moukhbaza is mashed-up bananas and hot chili peppers. I guess the idea is that it gives the strange yet perfect balance between sweet and spicy.

Ingredients:
- 4 large very ripe bananas
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 5 whole fresh hot chili peppers
Preparation:
Cut your peppers in tiny slivers so it dries out faster. Place single layer on a baking sheet, and then toast them in a 125-degree oven for about 4 hours. Remove peels and place bananas in a bowl.

Use a fork or potato masher to mash the bananas well. For each cup of mashed banana, add one teaspoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.

In a large bowl add mashed bananas and top with dried hot peppers. For a prettier presentation cut a banana pepper in half lengthwise, bake for 10 minutes on a 325-degree oven, cool peppers slightly and stuff with mashed bananas and serve.

Did you know
Fresh hot peppers can be dried in the oven at a very low temperature, dried in the sun, in a food dehydrator, or by stringing them up in a dry place.

When drying hot peppers in the sun, lay peppers flat on a large cookie sheet in a single layer in direct sunlight and cover with a thin screen mesh, flip peppers every few days.
