Banana Ketchup

Directions

• Peel and chop the onion, peel and finely slice the garlic cloves and split the chilli in half, scoop out the seeds and finely slice.
• Add the bananas in chunks in a bowl, then mash roughly with the back of a fork – this is why they must be ripe!
• Place a pan over medium heat and add the oil until hot before adding the onion. You want them to soften, which will take around 5 minutes, before adding garlic, chilli, ginger, turmeric and cinnamon.
• Stir in the mashed bananas, vinegar, honey and tomato paste with a good pinch of salt and bring to a simmer. If there is not enough liquid at this point, add a splash of water.
• Drop the heat down as low as possible, then simmer for 15 minutes, stirring regularly to ensure nothing catches on the bottom of the pan.
• Allow it to cool a little before tipping the contents of the pan into a food process or blender. Blitz until it has come together. If you want it to be a little looser, add a water splash. You’re looking for the consistency of regular ketchup.
