Boiled Green Banana
There are two methods of preparing boiled green bananas

Wash the bananas thoroughly in hot soapy water to remove any remaining traces of pesticides and artificial fertilisersDrop the bananas in to a saucepan of boiling water
Boil for about 20 minutes - you will know they are ready if the flesh feels tender when pricked with a fork
Peel then serve (the skin should come off fairly easily after cooking)

It is much more difficult to remove the skin of a green banana than that of a yellow banana, the most commonly used technique is to:Cut the ends of the bananas off

The peeled bananas can then be boiled as per the instructions above
