In vegan cuisine now recipes with banana peel go crazy – Italian Cuisine

Unbelievable, but true: thanks to an American blogger, vegan recipes based on banana peel are now the new viral trend in vegan cuisine

There banana peel, waste food generally destined for the garbage can, could be the next vegetable and vegan alternative to animal meat. This new fashion was launched and made viral by the well-known Canadian food blogger Melissa Copeland by The Stingy Vegan. His recipe of pulled pork sandwich with banana peels instead of the usual and popular jackfruit has become not only a media case, dividing the web into two, but has given way to a long series of vegetable recipes that have this bizarre ingredient as a protagonist. From burgers to meatballs, to vegan bacon, the recipes based on peels go crazy on the web and seem to convince even the most skeptical.

Is the banana peel the new jackfruit?

The banana peel, recently promoted to an ingredient thanks to this brand new vegan trend, is actually a food widely used both in the cuisine of Southeast Asia and South America, particularly in India and Venezuela. If in India you could in fact come across vegetable curries or rich recipes based on vegetables and coconut milk, in Venezuela the banana peels are replaced with those of plane trees, usually boiled and sautéed in a pan with other ingredients. In the vegan universe, however, the banana peel they have become popular especially in the greedy vegan version of pulled pork, that is the US branded sandwich made from shredded pork, barbecue sauce and various seasonings.

From vegan pulled pork sandwich to vegan bacon

The basic preparation for this new vegan variant of pulled pork sandwich, which can also be used for other plant-based recipes and which recalls the previous fashion of the jackfruit, it is quite easy and takes half an hour at the most. First, peel the banana and, using a teaspoon, delicately remove all residues. The next phase, the most laborious, is that of the fraying: Using a fork or knife, the skins should be reduced to vertical threads. The next phase is the marinating, which requires the skins to be left immersed for a few minutes in a mixture of spices and sauces, including cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, BBQ sauce and maple syrup. As soon as they are seasoned, the banana peels must be cooked in a pan with some water for 5-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets and the level of maturity of the banana used.
What you get at the end is a surprisingly soft and richly flavored base dish, which does not remember the banana at all, but which can rather make you think of marinated vegetables.

In addition to the classic marinated dishes, such as the pulled pork sandwich or vegan strips in BBQ sauce, banana peels are also suitable for other variations of meat-based preparation with strong flavors.
Among the many options shared by vegan food bloggers and food lovers are, for example, the vegetable meatballs and the vegan version of bacon and tuna, two plant-based recipes already very popular on the web and with many variations.
We just have to wait and see if this vegan trend will really take hold or if it will slip away quickly, like when we fall on a banana peel.

10 desserts with three ingredients. One is the banana – Italian Cuisine

Banana + two other ingredients: dessert is ready! For young and old and for those who want to prepare a good dessert, but simple and quick to do

How many desserts can you make with a banana and two other ingredients? We suggest at least 10.

Only three ingredients to prepare a dessert

The first of the list is the banana, a fruit so good, creamy and sweet that easily lends itself to the preparation of delicious recipes and also very fast. Just add honey or peanut butter or chocolate and you're done. And then there must be creativity and imagination. But if you really do not have time to think, simply follow our advice!

Spoon desserts

The banana is also good just shake and mixed with yogurt, cream or ricotta. The only problem with banana creams and mousses is that they tend to darken and so you should always dress the pulp with lemon juice or, alternatively, prepare the cake just before serving it. A simple spoon recipe with banana is the chocolate mousse that is prepared by blending the pulp of two bananas with the pulp of avocado and two tablespoons of cocoa powder. A real pleasure with very few calories, to give you a whim without guilt. To enrich it a little, you can also use coconut milk and chocolate chips.

Walking desserts

With the banana you can prepare extraordinary snacks for children who always want to run and play and who are not stopping a second. Just peel it, cut it at the base and stick it with a stick of icicle wood. At this point, dip it in the melted chocolate and decorate with chopped hazelnuts.
If you prefer something less demanding, there is also a toast sandwich with peanut butter and banana slices. A delight for adults and children.

Desserts to drink

It's always a good time for a banana shake, even if it's cold outside. The smoothie, or smoothie if you prefer the frozen version, is the ideal snack because it gives energy and breaks hunger. You can simply prepare it with milk and bananas or you can enrich it with many tasty ingredients such as vanilla or chocolate ice cream, coconut milk, peanut butter, caramel or white yogurt.
