Ingredients: Any Fruit, Any Vegetable, Flower, or Herb
Description: "A regional dish made by steaming near-ripened fruits in the leaves of fragrant plants."
Tough choices for this one... I decided to be a bit similar to the graphic and steam a banana, but instead of an apple I got some quite unripe nectarines. A steamed apple sounds mushy and gross to me. For the aromatic herbs, i've got coriander and almonds! Yeah i dont know, im just using my ~*imagination*~
i know the banana is shown steamed in the peel but then how are the herb flavours gonna get through? Doesnt make sense to me, im going to peel it and half the nectarine. I can't get the stone out though its super hard.
A bold amount of coriander there, and tossing the almonds on top.
Piling it all in some foil to steam in a parcel. Surely this will be undeniably aromatic! In the steamer it goes.
Post-steaming update. um... the banana is grey, and it smells weird. How long are you supposed to steam fruit for? Do any of you... steam fruit?? Oh well im gonna plate it up. Time to give it the ol' forage try.
****
Oh! Even though it looks evil and cursed, its actually really hitting the spot and i think i like it... granted im really hungry right now. The hot fruit is filling and not too sweet, and the coriander and almond flavours smell a bit weird but taste really fresh and kinda tropical somehow. Maybe everything tastes better when you eat it from a giant fake banana leaf?
