Bougna inspired Hot pot

I have bought the wrong kind of bananas- bananes dessert - which are similar to plantains (starchy and not so sweet like you may think from their name!). So, I have decided to create a dish and boil them up, taking inspiration in flavour from New Caledonia's bougna- meat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, ignames and plaintains/ bananas covered in coconut milk and then all wrapped up in banana leaves before being cooked over fire/ hot rocks in the ground. Mmmmmmm Caledonian hangi! I am pretty sure there will be a similar dish here that I just haven't discovered yet. So now I'm making it up!

This is only going to vaguely ressemble an actual bougna- I have no meat and am boiling it so it won't have that beautiful smokey earthy flavour. It is also more like a soup/curry, but oh well! Hopefully it will work out!

Ingredients
1 clove of garlic, diced
1 small onion, diced
1 tablespoon of olive oil
3 plantain bananas- chopped into medium chunks
3 medium potatoes- chopped into medium chunks

1 beef stock cube, dissolved in 300 ml of  warm water
1 can coconut milk (about 250 mls)
1 tsp minced chilli

1. Fry the onion in olive oil over a medium heat. Add garlic about 2 minutes later, once the onions have softened a bit. Fry for a further 2 minutes.

2. Add bananas and potatoes. Mix and fry for about 1 minute

3. Add stock, increase heat to medium high and bring to the boil. Boil for about 15- 20 minutes- until potatoes are softer and almost done.

4. Turn temperature to low/ medium low and add cocnut milk and chilli. Simmer for a further 5- 10 minutes untill potatoes are cooked through.

5. Serve over rice

You could make a lot of variations- curry and spices to turn it into a curry, add more veges and/or fish/meat to beef it out and give extra flavours.
