GREEN BANANAS AND GIZZARDS | GUINEOS ESCABECHE CON MOLLEJAS

Steps:

• Cut the ends of the green bananas and peel it. Cut bananas into one inch chunks.
• Place bananas into a large pot of water with a pinch of added salt and boil bananas over high heat for 10-12 minutes, or just until fork tender.
• While the bananas are cooking, cut gizzards into smaller bite sized pieces and boil with water in a different pot for ten minutes.
• Drain the bananas and put into a large bowl. (Drizzle a little olive oil to keep fresh.)
• In a separate pot, heat the oil over medium high heat and then add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over medium high heat, and then lower to a simmer. Cook until onions and peppers have softened. About 7-10 minutes.
• Taste for seasonings and adjust to your liking.
• Once vegetables have softened, pour mixture into the large bowl with bananas, and toss to coat.
• Fold in gizzards and refrigerate for an hour before serving.

GUINEOS EN ESCABECHE (GREEN BANANA SALAD)

Steps:

• Cut the banana with a knife by cutting off the ends of the bananas and making a cut alond the outside curves of the banana skins, but DO NOT remove the skins.
• Place the bananas in boiling water and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of salt and 2 teaspoons of oil to make them peel easier. Boil the bananas for approximately 20 minutes on medium-low heat. If you boil them too long they will come apart.
• While the bananas cook, make the Escabeche sauce by placing all the rest of the ingredients into a pot. Stir them well and place on medium heat until the mixture gets hot. Then reduce the heat to low and cook for approximately 1 hour. (Other recipes said to cook only until the onions got soft.) Remove from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
• The banana is done when you lightly stab it with a toothpick and it is tender but firm. Peel off the skins and cut the bananas in 1 inch size rounds and put them in a glass or "Tupperware" bowl. Add the sauce to the bananas. Stir and mix well. Cover them and let them cool off. After they cool off place them in the refrigerator for 2 hrs or longer -- the longer the better. Serve and eat.
