    This is a side dish most Polynesians love to eat with their main dish. Here in America, it's made with green bananas (no yellow at all). I like to serve over white rice. I like to eat with fish but any meat will work.

    Ingredients

    * 3 (13.5 ounce) cans coconut milk
    * 1 large onion, chopped
    * 6 small unripe (green) bananas

    Directions

    1. Combine the coconut milk and onion in a bowl; set aside.
    2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Boil the bananas in their skin for 30 to 40 minutes; drain. Run the bananas under cold water until they are cool enough to handle. Remove the bananas whole from their skins.
    3. Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Place the bananas in the pan. Pour the coconut milk mixture over the bananas. Cook until the coconut milk is foamy. Allow to cool 5 minutes before serving.

    Serves 6

    I usually put a scoop of white rice on a plate then place a whole banana on the rice and smother with the coconut milk.

    Where do the onions come in? Are they cooked?

    Yes you combined them with the coconut milk in step 1 and cook with the peeled cooked bananas in step 3.
