Banana Trunk Thoran

After the bananas are ready, the tree is of no of use anymore. The tree only gives one harvest so you really need to use the whole thing to get the most out of it.

Small baby banana trees have already seen the light by the base of the old one, so you just chop the old one down.

Inside the trunk you find this wonderful ivory meat.

Just use the recipe for the Banana Flower Thoran and swap the flower for a piece of the trunk and chop it in small fine pieces…

This you can serve as a side dish to almost anything…

Yum 💕🌴
