Welcome to a unique and flavorful dish - Black Bean and Banana Sauté!

A dash of honey sweetens the pot, while a touch of olive oil pulls it all together into a delightful, tropical-inspired sauté perfect for any meal.

Ingredients:

3/4 can black beans
320g
1 banana
120g
1 tbsp lime juice
16g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1.50 cups coconut milk
340g
2 tbsp honey
40g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Drain and rinse the black beans.
- Peel and slice the banana.
- Measure out the lime juice, salt, coconut milk, honey, and olive oil.
2. Heat the Olive Oil:
- In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Bananas:
- Add the sliced banana to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to caramelize and turn golden brown.
4. Add the Black Beans:
- Add the drained and rinsed black beans to the pan. Stir well to combine with the bananas.
5. Season with Lime and Salt:
- Pour in the lime juice and sprinkle a dash of salt over the mixture. Stir to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
6. Add Coconut Milk and Honey:
- Pour the coconut milk into the pan. Add the honey and stir well to combine all ingredients.
7. Simmer:
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
8. Taste and Adjust:
- Taste the sauté and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt or lime juice if desired.
9. Serve:
- Serve the black bean and banana sauté warm. It can be enjoyed on its own, over rice, or paired with tortillas for a delicious meal.

Tips:

- 1: Use ripe bananas for a sweeter flavor and softer texture, which will blend nicely with the black beans and other ingredients.

- 2: Ensure to rinse and drain the black beans if you're using canned beans to reduce the sodium content and enhance the flavor of the dish.

- 3: Do not overcook the bananas; a light sauté till they’re just tender will prevent them from becoming too mushy.

- 4: Adjust the amount of honey according to your taste preference; you can add more for a sweeter dish or reduce it to keep it more savory.

- 5: For added depth of flavor, consider sprinkling some fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley just before serving.

With its unexpected combination of ingredients, Black Bean and Banana Sauté stands out as a dish that's both unique and delicious. It’s easy to prepare and can add an interesting twist to your regular meal rotation. Enjoy the balance of sweet and savory flavors with a tropical hint that’s sure to please your taste buds!
