Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

3 lb Green bananas
2 c Chicken Stock
2 tb Butter
1 Small Onion, chopped
1 c Light cream or milk
2 Eggs, beaten
Salt
Ground Nutmeg
1 pn Cinnamon
1 c Grated Cheddar Cheese
1/2 c Fresh Bread Crumbs

Grated Gruyere cheese can be used instead of cheddar cheese. Place
bananas in saucepan and add just enough chicken stock to cover. Bring to
a boil, reduce heat and simmer until bananas are tender, about 20 to 25
minutes. Using a potato masher, mash until smooth (chicken stock will be
absorbed). Let cool slightly. Meanwhile, heat butter in a small frypan
and saute onions until tender. Add the onions, cream, beaten eggs to
cooked bananas until combined; season with salt, nutmeg and cinnamon to
taste. Mixture will be quite moist.
Place banana mixture in a buttered shallow baking dish. Combine cheese
with bread crumbs; sprinkle over top. Bake at 350 for 35 - 40 minutes or
until top is golden. Serves 4 - 6. From The Gazette, 91/02/13.
