1pinchcinnamon
1smallonion, chopped
1cupgrated cheddar cheese
1cup light cream or 1cupmilk

(Grated Gruyere cheese can be used instead of cheddar cheese.)
Place bananas in saucepan and add just enough chicken stock to cover.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until bananas are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Using a potato masher, mash until smooth (chicken stock will be absorbed).
Let cool slightly.

Reviews
“I made this today.It reminds me of the flavor of Turkey stuffing, I would not make this again, but I will finish what I made.”
“Excellent!Definitely different.I accidentally put cheese in with the plantains, but I don’t mind that in the slightest.Double the cheese can’t hurt too many recipes I know of.It turned out moist, flavorful, attractive, and interesting.I would add some fresh parsley next time but the recipe as is is quite good.”
“Wonderful…my family had with cuban steak and black beans and rice”
