BANANA
I have chosen Banana for the February One Ingredient Linky that I host with Laura at How to Cook Good Food. I do hope you will share your Banana recipes. Whilst bananas are good all year round, the Windward Island Variety comes into season now (until May). I am hoping it will give us different ways of using this fruit, which can be a bit of a marmite fruit, so I imagine there may be some who will sit out this month. However for those who do like bananas, there is an immense amount of variety. Aside from a classic banana loaf, it pairs well with puff pastry in tarte tatin, in trifles, is a classic on the barbeque (with chocolate and marshmallows of course) and how about this delicious banana, cardamom, chocolate spread.
It works in South Asian dishes alongside fish and even meat, as a salsa or adding sweetness to a sauce.
For more variety take a look at the BBC good food website and one of my favourite resources, Delicious Magazine’s website.
Here are the basic guidelines for the One Ingredient Challenge.

Oh what a good choice! I love bananas and hope that lots of people will join in with this month’s One Ingredient!
Thanks Laura. Let’s see what people come up with!
Ah – I’ll sit this one out (I’ve written frequently about how I am not a banana fan!) But I really look forward to the next challenge!
Ahh I know Rachel. I expected there would be some who would sit out this month.
Wonderful – I hate bananas but actually just made the one recipe I actually like that uses bananas, I was planning to post it on my blog in time for pancake day (so no prizes for guessing what the recipe is!). So that works out really well
Hooray. I do love banana pancakes. May be making those myself!
I just finished making a banana flan last night – will be linking it up when I post it later in the week
That sounds delicious. Look forward to the recipe
I’ve added my chocolate, rum and banana muffins, hope thats ok.
That is great Fiona, many thanks!
Bananas you say? Well as it happens I am planning a banana recipe today & have loads already, there’s always a black banana that needs using up in our house! I used to hate them until I had kids too. X
Hooray Helen that is great I cannot wait to see what you come up with!

Dear Nazima, I entered my banana cake loaf! I know that it is a classic recipe but since I found the fantastic Dan Lepard’s version I wanted to share it on my blog and you gave me a great opportunity with February One Ingredient Challenge, thank you!
