Bjúgaldin-salat

Banana salad


Bananas are very common in Iceland; I've actually never been to a supermarket here where there wasn't a large stand somewhere in the entrance area with bananas that were grown in greenhouses here in the country. Bananas are also an integral part of Icelandic cuisine.

In Icelandic today, banana is actually called "banani", but the previous Icelandic word for it is "bjúgaldin", meaning "sausage fear". Yes, visually quite understandable!


Ingredients for 4 servings

4 large bananas
6 hard-boiled egg yolks
4 Tbsp rapeseed oil
2 Tbsp vinegar
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
1 pinch of fresh pepper
1 Tbsp sugar


Preparation

Halve the eggs.

In a large bowl, chop the egg yolks and mix thoroughly with the rapeseed oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and sugar.


Crush the egg whites...


...and add to the egg yolk mixture.


Peel the bananas and cut them into slices with a knife.


Add the banana slices to the bowl and mix everything thoroughly.


Then serve the banana salad with fresh bread and butter.
