Well, we got my husband 8 pounds of exotic bananas for his birthday. I quickly began to scout for great recipes trying to steer away from the sweeter versions. I finally found this recipe on Youtube and it was just what I was searching for. I transposed Mr. Pierre’s recipe to the best of my ability with just a couple of modifications. This is a completely vegetarian take on a slider, and it was absolutely delicious. Healthy, interesting, not too difficult, and a real treat to the palate. Enjoy!
Burro Banana Sliders with Oyster Mushrooms
Serves 2
Ingredients:
- 8 oz. Oyster mushrooms
- Ginger dressing (I used Bragg Ginger Sesame dressing)
- 3 Burro bananas
- Grapeseed or avocado oil
- 1 red onion, halved and cut into thin slices
- 1/2 T. sea salt
- 1 t. curry powder
- 1/2 t. chili powder
- 1/4 cup water
- mixed greens or spinach
- 1 avocado
Directions:
- Shred mushrooms by pulling into strips. Marinate in ginger dressing and set aside.
- Cut off the ends of the Burro bananas and peel them. Split each banana lengthwise.
- Heat oil in a heavy skillet and place bananas cut side down in the pan.
- In a separate pan, start the onions with a bit of oil over medium heat until they begin to soften. Add the spices, mushrooms and water. Continue to add water as necessary to prevent the pan from becoming dry.
- Remove the bananas after they have begun to soften and place them on a flat surface. Using a flat cutting board, press down on each one to flatten. Return them to the pan until they are browned and crisp on each side. Remove
- Toss the mixed greens with the Ginger dressing. Adjust seasoning of the mushroom onion mixture to taste. Mash the avocado until smooth.
- Create the sliders by using the bananas as the base. Divide avocado between the sliders and spread evenly. Top with mixed greens and finish with the onions and mushrooms.
