Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • Half diced paprika
  • Half big-headed onion cut into feathers
  • A quarter of a long onion stem chopped into squares
  • Half a pound of grated double cream cheese
  • 1/2 pound of ham cut into strips
  • Butter
  • Pepper
  • A cup of tomato sauce
  • Salt
  • black sauce

Preparation

Step 1. Saute

In a pan, add butter and let it melt. Immediately, she fry the peppers together with salt and pepper. Add the ground beef and let it cook completely. Pour a little black sauce and after stirring, reserve it a little. Again, pour butter into the pan and fry the onions. Leave it for about 3 minutes and add the tomato sauce. Once you see it caramelized, reserve it too.

Step 2. Brown bananas

Take the banana and peel it. Cut it in half and brown it a little in a pan with melted butter. Turn it over so that it seals on all sides but be careful not to get it too fried, covering the pan so that it cooks over medium-low heat. When you see them golden brown, take them out on a plate and let them cool.

Step 3. Fill

Once they are cold, open them a little in the middle (like a hot dog bun) to be able to stuff them. Remove the little veins that they have in the middle (close to the little seeds) and crush them gently with the help of a plate or a board. Again use the pan and put the bananas there over low heat. Start filling them by first adding the grated cheese, the ground beef, the caramelized onion, the ham and a new layer of cheese on top. If you wish, cover the pan so that the cheese gratins.
