Banana and tapioca in coconut milk
6 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | Bananas | |
| 6 | tablespoons | Whole pearl tapioca |
| ½ | cup | Water |
| ½ | cup | Sugar (see NOTE) |
| pinch | Salt | |
| 16 | ounces | Coconut milk |
Directions
Peel and slice the bananas at an angle about ⅓-inch thick. Set aside.
In a pot large enough to hold all the ingredients, combine whole pearl tapioca with the water. Cook over low heat until tapioca balls become transparent. (Note: If using instant tapioca, follow package instructions using coconut milk instead of milk and eliminating the egg and vanilla.) Add the sugar, salt, coconut milk, and bananas.
Return to a boil; stir carefully to prevent sticking. As soon as it boils, it is ready to serve.
Makes 6 servings.
NOTE: Be aware that this dish has the characteristic sweetness of many Asian desserts. You may prefer to reduce the sugar by a third.
