Bananas Poached in Coconut Milk
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
Pour the coconut milk into a pan large enough to hold the bananas laid flat in a single layer. Add the sugar and salt and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat, add the bananas, and simmer until the bananas are just warmed through, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Serve the bananas warm on small plates garnished with fresh coconut and pineapple wedges.
Serves 2–3
The sugar in this recipe makes for a really sweet dessert, and the Thai love it. If you would prefer to let the banana flavor stand more on its own, add less sugar.
