Specialty Recipe

Irie* Banana Salsa

* "Irie" is the rasta word for cool, positive vibrations, in the flow of things. This recipe came from a friend's Jamaican cook. Great with grilled shrimp. For the capsicum addict.

Ingredients:

1 large firm banana, slightly under ripe, peeled and diced

1/2 cup each: diced red, green and yellow bell peppers

3 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

2 scallions, chopped

salt to taste

2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 Tablespoon brown sugar

2 teaspoons minced ginger root

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 teaspoon minced scotch bonnet pepper, seeded (may substitute 2 teaspoons minced jalapeño)

Mix ingredients, taste, and adjust seasonings. Serve within one hour. This is HOT! Better keep some milk nearby.
