BANANA BREAD WITH PECANS

Categories     dessert

Time 2h50m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 overripe bananas
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture. With an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk, whip the remaining bananas and sugar together for a good 3 minutes; you want a light and fluffy banana cream. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla; beat well and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated; no need to overly blend. Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Give the pan a good rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
  • Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Don't get nervous if the banana bread develops a crack down the center of the loaf; that's no mistake, it's typical. Rotate the pan periodically to ensure even browning.
  • Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes or so, and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Toast the slices of banana bread, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve.

PEANUT BUTTER CHICKEN KABOBS



Peanut Butter Chicken Kabobs image

This recipe is inspired by beef kabobs from West Africa commonly called suya (or seree in Sierra Leone) and consisting of spicy skewered beef pieces traditionally marinated in homemade tomato paste and ground peanuts. You can recreate a similar flavor profile at home with the peanut butter in your pantry--it's a great ingredient to play with. Using peanut butter in savory dinner recipes adds a rich, nutty taste and the fat helps keep the protein moist.

Provided by Yumna Jawad

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small onion
2 tablespoons unsalted peanut butter
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for the grill if needed
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
Cooked jasmine rice, for serving
Sliced green onions, for serving

Steps:

  • Soak 5 to 6 wooden skewers in water for at least 1 hour.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, grate the onion until it's finely chopped. Add the peanut butter, tomato paste, olive oil, cumin, salt, crushed red pepper and powdered ginger. Continue to blend until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  • Transfer the sauce to a large bowl. Add the chicken to the sauce and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the chicken to marinate.
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates with olive oil, if necessary.
  • Add the chicken to the wooden skewers (make 5 to 6 skewers). Brush both sides of the chicken with any leftover marinade.
  • Carefully place the chicken skewers onto the grill. Grill until the chicken is cooked through on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
  • Serve over jasmine rice garnished with green onions, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana butter will be.
  • Use a blender or food processor: This will make it easy to puree the bananas and other ingredients until smooth.
  • Add spices to taste: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all popular spices that can be added to banana butter.
  • Let the banana butter simmer: This will help to thicken it and develop its flavor.
  • Serve banana butter warm or cold: It can be used as a spread for toast, pancakes, or waffles, or as a filling for pastries.

Conclusion:

Banana butter is a delicious and versatile spread that can be used in a variety of ways. It's easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to try making banana butter!
