MATOKE RECIPE. Ingredients 6 to 8 green bananas, peeled and diced. 1 lemon juice. 2 to 3 tablespoons oil 1 Onion, chopped. Green pepper, chopped -- 1 Garlic, minced -- 3 or 4 cloves peppers, finely chopped -- 3 or 4 Ground coriander -- 1 tablespoon Stewing beef (optional), cubed -- 1 pound Tomatoes, seeded and chopped -- 2 cups Water or beef stock -- 2 cups Salt -- to season Method Toss the bananas with the lemon juice and set aside. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high flame. Add the onions and green pepper and saute until the onion is cooked through and translucent, about 3 or 4 minutes. Add the garlic, peppers and coriander and saute for another minute or so. Stir in the beef and tomatoes and cook for another 2 or 3 minutes. Add the beef stock or water and season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir in the bananas and simmer for another 30 to 40 minutes, or until the beef is tender and bananas have softened. Adjust seasoning and serve hot. Matoke Variations. 1.Meat: Try using goat or lamb meat instead of beef. Brown the meat in the oil first for a deeper flavor, then add the onions and peppers. You can also use ground beef. 2.Vegetarian Matoke: Matoke is just as tasty when served as a vegetarian meal. Simply eliminate the beef and use water or vegetable stock.
