Categories     Tropical Fruits

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 bananas
4 cups water
1/2 cup tapioca
1 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel the bananas and place in a medium saucepan. Add the water and then bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • Break the bananas up with a wooden spoon, fork or masher.
  • Sprinkle the tapioca into the saucepan while stirring. Add the coconut milk and then simmer over low/medium heat until the tapioca is cooked, about 15 minutes. Stir frequently. Finally, taste the suafa'i. If you like a little more sweetness, then add sugar to taste.
  • Remove from the heat, leave for about 30 minutes to cool and then serve in a bowl or cup. You can also cool suafa'i completely, and refrigerate it. Once cooled, serve it as a snack or dessert.

Tips:

  • For the freshest results, use the freshest fish possible. Look for fish that is bright-eyed, firm to the touch, and has no fishy odor.
  • When marinating the fish, use a glass or ceramic dish instead of metal, as metal can react with the acid in the marinade and alter the taste of the fish.
  • Be sure to marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours, as the acid in the marinade can start to "cook" the fish.
  • If you are using a store-bought coconut cream, be sure to check the label to make sure it does not contain any added sugars or preservatives.
  • Serve the marinated fish immediately after it is done marinating, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Marinated raw fish in coconut cream is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. It is also a healthy dish, as it is low in calories and fat and high in protein. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy fish, be sure to try this Samoan dish.
