Banana leaf used in dish..

I've seen these used to prepare fish dishes. It keep it moist and tender.

Interesting trivia: Last year I only had the Red Maurilii Banana..those red leafs were a bit bitter. This green leaf from "Ice Cream/Java" worked fine. The dish is made of black rice (and plenty of sugar) my wife brought back from the Philippines.

quite versatile. You can really get creative

Does the black rice taste like rice pudding?

I have so many varieties of bananas growing in the back and front yard and I never use them for cooking. I know they're terrific on meats for flavor and tenderizer.

I think it does. I never got a taste this year..she took it to the office party. I had to settle for Pumpkin pie and Ice Cream- the one in cartons- not the banana-lol.
