Ripe banana peel chutney

By Khanya Mzongwana
Makes 200 g
Easy
15 minutes, plus 1 hour’s soaking time
40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 ripe banana peels
  • 2 T coconut oil
  • 2 onions, peeled and finely diced
  • 2 green chillies, thinly sliced
  • 2 t salt
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 t mustard seeds
  • 2 T curry powder
  • 1 star anise
  • 1 t fennel seeds
  • 1 stick cinnamon
  • 150 g brown sugar
  • 1 ripe banana, chopped
  • 2 cups orange juice

Method

1. Submerge the banana peels in cold water for 1 hour, changing the water twice. Drain the water.

2. Transfer the peels to a saucepan, add 3 cups fresh water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, then drain and allow to cool. Once cooled, roughly dice the peels into small pieces.

3. Heat the coconut oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onions, chillies and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and fry for 3 minutes.

4. Stir in the mustard seeds, curry powder, star anise, fennel, cinnamon, sugar, banana peels and chopped banana. Cook for 10 minutes or until slightly caramelised.

5. Add the orange juice and simmer for 30 minutes, or until thickened.

6. Transfer into sterilised jars and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
