Extremely refreshing. I make extra salsa to keep in the fridge for a pick-me-up after a long day at uni. You can serve it on a banana leaf with lime wedges. Ingredients:
2 bananas, peeled and thinly sliced |
2 cucumbers - peeled, seeded, and diced |
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves |
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves |
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger root |
1 fresh red chile pepper, thinly sliced |
1/4 cup lime juice |
1 tablespoon fish sauce |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 1/2 pounds tiger prawns, peeled and deveined |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix bananas, cucumbers, mint, cilantro, ginger, and red chile pepper to make salsa.
2. In a small bowl, blend lime juice, fish sauce, and brown sugar until sugar has dissolved. Thoroughly mix into the salsa.
3. Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Place prawns in the water, and cook 3 minutes, or until flesh is opaque. Serve with the banana salsa.
