There’s a growing trend of vegans cooking banana peels as a meat substitute. I was quite skeptical at first, but @phie999, a friend of mine in Indonesia, cooked banana peel meatballs recently, and she said the result was surprisingly delicious 🤯 I could not resist the desire to give it a try myself, and decided to create my own banana peel meatball recipe. Both the texture and taste were just spot on!Banana peels are packed with nutrients, notably high amounts of vitamin B6 and B12, as well as magnesium and potassium.#CookEveryPart

Culinary preparations using banana peels are common in Southeast Asian, Venezuelan, and Indian cuisines. The pulled pork recipe made with banana peels that I present to you was created by a Canadian vegan blogger, Melissa Copeland, and went viral in the UK in 2019. In 2020, Nadiya Hussein, winner of the British talent show "The Great British Bake Off," revealed that she used banana peels in making burgers to reduce food waste. This is my version; I had two large, ripe banana peels left over and wanted to prepare this 'unusual' recipe. The only recommendation is to use organic bananas!!!

Even without doing anything to take care of it, the tree in our backyard produces lots of pesticide-free pearl kan fruits. Since they are completely organic, the skins can be used practically.I learned this from my mother who used to boil yuzu peels and deliver them around the neighborhood.If you use a citrus fruit that has a hard skin with a thick white part (such as oranges, mandarin oranges, yuzu, pomelo, etc), you can make this following the same procedure. Since citrus fruits that have a thick white section absorb lots of water when soaked, pay attention to their condition and adjust the amount of water as necessary. Recipe by kiwicafe

I wanted to make homemade candied peels, so I created my own recipe by referencing a variety of recipes and consolidating the best of each!When coating the peels in granulated sugar, they will get sticky, but once they are well coated, the sugar will dry up and stop sticking.By repeating Step 3, you can get rid of some of the astringency (bitterness).Coating them in chocolate makes them extra delicious. For 2 hassaku's worth. Recipe by Jay

This recipe was birthed from a deep sea fishing trip I took in Florida in late spring.

I had a similar dish at the soba noodle restaurant in my neighborhood and thought the same idea might work with udon.This is just as delicious with somen, hiyamugi, or soba noodles. The ingredients are simple, so I recommend using a good dashi stock. It's also tasty to use diluted mentsuyu (noodle dipping sauce) with additional salt as preferred. Recipe by maepee.

#GoldenApron23Week 6 challenge ingredient: tofuStinky tofu is a Taiwanese food that is known for its bad smell 😂The most interesting thing is Taiwanese people will say it smells so good when it’s more “stinky”This dish’s ingredients prepared time was the longest time I had ever done. It took 1 month for the fermentation liquid, 1 day for soybeans, 2 hours for making soy milk, 40 minutes for making tofu, at least 1 day for soaking the tofu and around 20 minutes for deep fried the stinky tofu.It takes really long time but for me it was a good experience and I had so much fun!

Ripe eggplants are sponges, they absorb the flavors they are cooked in. Tamarind is a perfect sweet and sour marinade, makes a tangy eggplant meat substitute for Sauerbraten, a german sweet and sour beef loin dinner. Delicious with mushroom cream sauce. Serve family style with small fingerling steamed potatoes, carrot slices, yellow squash and green beans. The left over eggplant peels make a great separate condiment when pickled with the condensed marinade, see recipe below.
