Green banana/green fig stew recipe

Green banana/ green fig stew recipe.
I love love love green bananas, and I am always craving for them, no matter how they are prepared. Therefore, I try to prepare green bananas different ways; for example adding to salads, stewing, baking, boiling, grilling etc. This recipe is a combination of a few things you might have in your pantry. I actually had a few boiled bananas that were left over from a previous recipe, so I sliced them up and prepared this delicious stew. Hope you will enjoy. When peeling the bananas, do wear gloves or coat your hands with cooking oil to prevent the sap from staining and sticking to your hands.
Ingredients:
5 grains of banana
1 onion sliced
1 shallot sliced
Half bell pepper, sliced

Bolognese sauce with chunks of meat of your choice

1/2 tablespoon salt added to water for boiling green bananas
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/2 beef bouillon (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon ginger or a small fresh piece chopped finely
6 cups of water
Instructions:
Wash and peel green bananas.
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium sauce pot. Add a large pinch of salt. Add the peeled and green bananas and boil for 15 minutes(So they are not fully cooked)
