Have been wanting to eat a bunch of the random things we have collecting dust in our cabinets and fridge. Additionally, I worked a 20-mile race this morning and went home with a large number of unripened bananas, which are great for cooking (hold up better, but do soften and turn sweet).<br/><br/>After a short search, I found <a href=”http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Cuban-Goulash/Detail.aspx” target=”_blank”>Cuban Goulash</a>. We didn’t have the exact ingredients, but were pretty close. Rather than read theirs, go with my recipe… it’s much easier:<br/><br/><span style=”font-weight: bold;”>Ingredients<br/></span><ul><li><a href=”cutenews/data/upimages/IMG_0608done.jpg”><img class=”floatRightNoBorder” src=”cutenews/data/upimages/IMG_0608done.jpg” style=”width: 253px; height: 189px;”/></a>three bananas, peeled and diced (the less ripe, the better)</li><li>one can of Furmano’s diced tomatoes (because they are the best)</li><li>one yellow (or white, they’re similar enough) onion, diced<br/></li><li>four links of Trader Joe’s chicken italian sausage (feel free to use whatever meat you want, this is just what we had), diced<br/></li><li>tablespoon vegetable oil</li><li>dash of cayenne pepper<br/></li></ul><span style=”font-weight: bold;”>Steps<br/></span><ol><li>In saute pan, heat oil over medium heat.</li><li>Once heated, add sausage and onions.</li><li>Once sausage is browned and onions are soft, add tomatoes and bananas.</li><li>Once a boil is reach, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-30 minutes, while stirring occasionally.<br/></li><li>Add cayenne pepper to taste.<br/></li></ol>We ate ours in bowls, like a chili. The recipe recommends eating it over egg noodles, but I think I’d prefer the bowl format. In fact, I may make this next time I’m on the hook to make a chili or something of that nature. The above ingredients can serve four.<br/><br/>Was super simple, a complete unknown, got a giant can, an onion, and four sausage links out of here, and was absolutely delicious. The acidity of the tomatoes, the spice of the sausage, the tang/sweetness of the onion, and the sweetness of the bananas was truly a match made in heaven.<br/><br/>Total cost? No idea, we bought all this stuff a while ago, but it wasn’t much.<br/><br/>Will definitely be making this one again.<br/>
