#26 Banana Salsa

Another T. Pechey recipe. I am a banana fan so I was very interested to see what this would taste like. The non-banana fans were skeptical. However in the end we were all very pleased with this salsa and I hope to make it again soon.

Ingredients:

• 1 large ripe banana
• ½ red bell pepper
• 1 shallot
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 ½ tsp gingerroot, minced and peeled
• ¼ tsp red chili pepper flakes
• ¼ tsp salt
• 6 twists of peppermill fresh ground pepper

Directions:

1. Remove and discard the membranes and seeds of the red bell pepper. Finely mince the bell pepper and place in a medium bowl.

2. Finely mince the shallot and add to the bowl.

3. Other than the banana - add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl.

4. Just before serving - peel the banana and cut into about a 1/4 inch size dice. Add to the bowl and stir well to combine.

5. Serve with tortilla chips.
