So I don't believe in wasting anything, afterall, waste is not good for the environment, nor is it good for my pocket either- especially in these tough financial times, so when I heard that you could eat banana skins- well I went Bananas 🤡 and I just had to try it myself...
BANANA BACON that is! And after watching many vids on the other tube, I did my own thing..🤣.
So I made a marinade with all of these ingredients that I already had in my cupboard
AND talking about NOT wasting things, I made something for the Plant-Based Cooking Challenge 👨🏿🍳 Week #20- from @lotusshares and Authored by @justinparke here @chocolatescorpi/plant-based-cooking-challenge-week-20-i-am-joining-you AND if you notice in this photos below, in the sieve, there is the leftover squished prunes after making a sweetener for the Vanilla Ginger Chia pudding (which by the way is totally DELICIOUS...😋..), which I then used as the sweetener for this marinade instead of sugar, maple syrup and any other sweet sauces/sweeteners...And instead of throwing it away.
So anyway, after washing the nanies, I carefully cut the tops and tails off (which I diced up and put in my pot plants...) and carefully sliced the nanies down the centre so I could get a nice wide strips.
I then threw the nanies into a washed reused plastic baggie with the marinade and left it in the fridge overnight to get the most flavour into them.
Now all the vids I watch on the other tube said to scrape they stuff off the inside of the skin, but I don't know why and couldn't see any reason to, so I left it in there as my rationale is that it is still edible and would allow the marinade to soak into it more too.
They all said to marinate the strips for about 20-30mins, but really, how much flavour would that give them, which is why I left mine marinating for almost 24hrs....
Then I pan fried them and although all the other vids out there fried theirs hard enough to come out crunchy, I deliberately did NOT, as even when I (horribly ate poor piggies- MY Chinese zodiac animal....like eating myself really...ewwww.) ate bacon, I never liked it burnt and crispy anyway....
So I gently fried mine, keeping an eye on the smoke coming out of the fry pan with all of the doors and windows open (as I live in an apt and HATE the smoke detector screaming at me...)
And ended up with these perfectly cooked and absolutely sensational tasting Banana Bacon Banana Bacon! 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
And no, they're not exactly like Bacon, but it's so damn close to it, I'll definitely be making these again and it was so easy too!
Plus Wayyyy more nutritious than eating poor Piggies too...So there were no piggies or any other animal harmed in the making of this bacon and the nanies have gone into the freezer for my breakfast smoothies....
THE END. 😁
