      Title: FIGUE VERT (GREEN BANANA) GRATIN
  Categories: Fruits
       Yield: 4 Servings
  
       3 lb Green bananas
       2 c  Chicken Stock
       2 tb Butter
       1    Small Onion, chopped
       1 c  Light cream or milk
       2    Eggs, beaten
            Salt
            Ground Nutmeg
       1 pn Cinnamon
       1 c  Grated Cheddar Cheese
     1/2 c  Fresh Bread Crumbs
  
   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. Meanwhile, heat butter in
   a small frypan and saute onions until tender. Add the onions, cream,
   beaten eggs to cooked bananas until combined; season with salt,
   nutmeg and cinnamon to taste. Mixture will be quite moist. Place
   banana mixture in a buttered shallow baking dish. Combine cheese with
   bread crumbs; sprinkle over top. Bake at 350 for 35 - 40 minutes or
   until top is golden. Serves 4 - 6. From The Gazette, 91/02/13.
