GFCFrecipes link archive by BL Olson


List of Ingredients




• 6 bananas (ripe)
• 4 Tablespoon cf margarine or ghee
• 1 1/2 cups water (mixed with 1/8 tsp stevia powder - see below)
• 1 teaspoon rose water
• 1 1/4 teaspoon cardamom seeds (peeled)
• 2 Tablespoon blanched almonds
• saffron


Recipe



Melt margarine in a heavy skillet. Peel and cut bananas into 1" pieces. Fry in margarine for 5-7 minutes on medium heat. Stir often and mash after they have fried for 5 minutes.

Add 1/2 cup water. Simmer with care on low heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir the 1/8 tsp stevia into the remaining 1 cup water and add to the bananas. Boil gently 15 minutes. Stir often to prevent scorching, and also to thicken mixture.

Add rose water, remove, and pour into a shallow dish.

Bruise the cardamom seeds and sprinkle on halavah. Sliver the almonds, and sprinkle enough saffron to color the halavah golden. Offer hot or cold.
